OVERVIEW
This recently serviced 1970 Volkswagen Beetle is powered by an air-cooled 1.6-liter flat-four mated to a four-speed manual transaxle. Within the last 100 miles, it received mechanical work on the fuel system, ignition system, and belts. Features include chrome brightwork, whitewall tires, a Bluetooth stereo, and a hydraulic brake system. Finished in orange over a black vinyl interior, this Beetle is now offered with a car cover, an owner’s manual, spare parts, and a clear title in the seller’s name.
EXTERIOR – FEATURES
The orange exterior has been resprayed and comes equipped with chrome bumpers and headlight rings, fender-mounted turn signals, a driver-side mirror, running boards, and two rear exhaust outlets.
EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES
Steel 15-inch wheels with VW-branded center caps are wrapped in older whitewall tires.
INTERIOR – FEATURES
The interior is optioned with black vinyl high-back bucket seats up front, a bench in the rear, and matching materials for the door panels, padded dash, sun visors, and new carpeting. Features include door-mounted map pockets and armrests, manual-crank windows, a fresh-air ventilation system, a Bluetooth stereo, and lap belts. The rubber door seals have been replaced. The front storage compartment contains a spare tire.
INTERIOR – GAUGES
The VDO-branded instrumentation includes an inoperative 90-mph speedometer with an inset fuel gauge. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 57,000 miles, which the seller reports to be accurate.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
The rear-mounted 1.6-liter air-cooled flat-four was rated at 57 horsepower and received a tune-up within the last 100 miles that involved service to the belts, spark plugs, spark plug wires, points, and timing. A new carburetor has been installed. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a floor-shifted four-speed Synchromesh manual transmission. The seller notes that the choke and idle need adjustment.
UNDERCARRIAGE
Handling comes from a four-wheel independent suspension. Stopping power is provided by a dual-circuit hydraulic brake system. There is some surface rust present on the underbody.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
A car cover, an owner’s manual, spare rubber seals, uninstalled chrome exhaust tips, and other parts will accompany the vehicle.

@Speedster1956 – Are there any weak spots or rust holes in the floor? What’s the condition of floor under the battery box? Is the floor pan original? ...
Floor is great. It looked like the heater tubes could use a little love and connection. Someone replaced package tray and did a great job. I followed up with all new rubber on all windows and a new windshield. I think the rear window may have leaked and damaged package tray, hence a new one. This car is a good driver and trustworthy. The only problem is the carburation. I ordered another PCT 1 carb replacement from J Bugs that I will include with the car as well as the new one that's on it.

Speedo needs new cable. Car runs great after warm up. I think it has wrong carburetor. It’s new but incorrect.
