Here is my personal 1970 Volkswagen Beetle. I have owned the car for just about three years. Our needs have changed and are in need of a small pickup truck. I have grown up around Volkswagens and these cars are a part of my life (my dad was a Cerified Volkswagen Air Cooled Specialist). I will try to thoroughly document my time with this car. I purchased it in November of 2011. It was leaking oil at the main seal so I went ahead and rebuilt the engine, keeping it a single port, but bumping it to a 1641 CC with new pistons. Electronic ignition, Solex 30/31 carb, mechanical advance distributor, later (larger) oil cooler, fan and shroud. EMPI air filter (which I don't like using as this is the second one that broke on me hence the tape you see in the photos). The oil bath I have for it does not fit. ORIGINAL rain catcher for the engine compartment is here. I am approximating the mileage as I have not kept track. The biggest trip I took with it was the 600 mile trip from Northern California to Idaho when we moved here. About a year ago I had to have a local VW specialist mechanic put case savers in for me. I had to replace the heads and the studs were pulling from the right side of the case. Has been running great since. The original car color was Desert Sand, but the previous owner primered the roof (more on that in a bit), so we took the car apart and painted it Firemist Red Metallic. The entire pan, inside and out, including the space behind the backseat has been treated with POR-15. Any rust holes were patched with POR-15 repair kit. It's SOLID. I put plush carpet in the car and stock VW carpet over that. New window seals, rubber, fender welt, etc. The only rubber we didn't replace was the scrapers. New headliner. New windshield wiper motor. I replaced the stock speedometer with a one-year only 1968 one. New sun visors. The front turnsignals are early model repros. I have a Bugpack lighted license plate frame on the front. JVC CD stereo with four speakers. Bamboo parcel shelf, center console, EMPI glove box, EMPI early wire cover (I covered the front hood vents). Inside on the dash, I removed the padded dash, shaved any superfluous holes and painted to match the exterior. New running boards, too. Let's say this... anything that needed to be replaced HAS BEEN REPLACED!!! When I purchased the Bug it was lowered and equipped with front disc brakes. Stops on a dime and the ride is solid. I added a Unique Parts clutch bearing shaft to the clutch pedal. No more broken clutch cables and the clutch is smooth. Transmission is smooth, shifts in all four gears and reverse. Now the story about the white roof. The previous owner told me there was a small dent in the roof so he Bondoed the dent after trying to bang it out. Well, he Bondoed the WHOLE ROOF!!! Once we got to Idaho and the freezing winter weather, the roof started to crack. We sanded the entire roof and the plan was to repaint it next spring with the Firemist Red Metallic (we would have to order more), but it looks like a faux ragtop. You can do what you want with it. Back to the car... the wiring is all solid. The reverse lights are not hooked up and the signal cancelling ring is off, so you have to remember to manually shut off the turnsignals when you use them. I regularly tune up the Bug and change the oil religiously. In summer I use HD-40 and winter HD-30. By the way... the horn works. There are some small dings here and there on the car, especially around the driver side door from the seat belt. Oh, it has front retractable three point seat belts and lap belts for the back seat. I had the rear tires replaced a year ago. The front tires still have life on them, but should be replaced by winter time. It is hard for me to part with this Bug. I only plan on keeping it listed for one week. It's like getting rid of a friend. If it does not sell by 9/21/14 I will keep it at least until Spring. Clean Idaho title. You will need to pick up or arrange shipping through a shipping company. $500.00 deposit required through PayPal immediately and the balance can be sent via PayPal or certified bank check before you pick it up. Once full payment is made I will be more than happy to send you the title so you can get it registered before you pick it up. Please let me know if your state requires that you need a notarized Bill Of Sale. Before you ask, I feel you can drive this anywhere, but it is an old Volkswagen and you should be prepared with tools, jack, etc. I am including the spare tire, two new fan belts and fuses. Feel free to ask questions not covered. I can only answer based on what I know of the Bug since owning it. Below is a video of me driving it.
