1971 Volkswagen Beetle

1971 Volkswagen Super Beetle - Convertible Back in the 30s only 1 person out of 50 in Germany owned a vehicle. They really couldnt afford anything more elaborate than a motorcycle. Well to rectify that, in 1937, the German Labour Group introduced the iconic Volkswagen or in German...The Peoples Car. These cars proved to be very popular, so much so that they are still being made today. Although their models have expanded to other names like the Golf, Passat, etc the Beetle is one of the most widely recognized cars throughout history. There are entire clubs dedicated to preserving their history and even children can point them out while playing Slug Bug or Punch Buggy. To commemorate passing the Ford Model Ts records sales Volkswagen introduced their first limited edition car known as the Super Beetle. This 1971 Volkswagen is one of those Super Beetles and is a really neat car. The current owner has owned the car for 6 years and the owner prior to that had it for 10. Both are in Texas and prior to that it was in California. It gets a ton of attention with its slick Pink paint paired with a Black convertible top. The cloth top is in great shape, has a glass rear window and it does come with a matching boot. It wears its stock chrome bumpers, chrome side trim, chrome fender guards, chrome mirrors, chrome headlight buckets and chrome turn signals. The glass throughout is all in good shape with no issues. The car rides on the Empi 8 spoke wheels with with custom chrome spinner caps. In the back of the car sits the 1.6 liter, air cooled, flat four motor that runs well.
