Greetings. This is an extremely nice 1971 Volkswagen Super Beetle. It is the desirable dark green color with beautiful EMPI mag wheels. It has been garage kept. It starts immediately, shifts great, steers straight and stops like new. The 1971 and 1972 were the only model years for the flat windshield. This makes them somewhat unique in the beetle world. 1973 began the curved windshield era. The car is rust free. It had only one dime-sized rust hole, located under the battery; typical for any car over 10 years old. There is light surface rust on the underside of the car. That's it. A 43-year-old rust-free car is unusual and quite desirable. But if you are reading this, you already know that. New interior items include: New headliner New carpeting New front and rear seat covers New visors New steering wheel New JVC AM/FM radio with Bluetooth and flash drive port Subwoofer with Jensen amplifier New EMPI short-throw shifter Tachometer Oil pressure gauge Voltmeter Head temperature gauge New exterior items include: New rubber window trim New windshield wiper motor New outside mirrors and rear-view mirror New windshield wiper motor New bumpers New windshield New running boards New windshield washer pump new wiper blades New Insulation in the engine compartment and undercarriage New McPherson strut stabilizer bar New steering bushings, stabilizer bar bushings, and associated suspension bushings New steering damper New shock absorbers New McPherson struts EMPI 8-spoke mag wheels Engine work includes: New carb New Bosch distributor and electronic ignition New spark plugs, distributor cap and wires New oil cooler New push rod tubes New factory headers and mufflers (tailpipes extend from the correct tailpipe outlets with a pronounced sports car sound New clutch and pressure plate New motor mounts New oil pump ....and miscellaneous parts too numerous to list Much of the work on this car are important things that would normally not see, such as the suspension work, insulation, engine work, and so on. No doubt I have forgotten to list many more new parts, but you get the point. I have spent almost two years renovating this car. And now it is done. My wife thinks I'm nuts to sell it now that it's finally done. But I think she's beginning to understand that I didn't do the work so that I could drive it. I did it because it's what I love to do. And now it's time to move on to a bigger restoration challenge. My goal in selling this car is to make room in the garage and get out of the car what I put into it. I did not respray the car during the restoration. I didn't want to have to worry about every parking lot and potential scratch. The car looks good, but you can see the flaws up close. Overall, it looks good. But it's a daily driver, not a trailer queen. I don't want to own a car that seems to own me. Mileage on the odometer is 58,000. I have no reason to believe that this is accurate. All receipts will be included with the car. I have documented the restoration process, so if you'd like more pictures, please let me know.
