This 1974 Volkswagen Beetle is a California blue plate car that was disassembled and restored by the previous owner over a period of three years. The car has been driven about 3k miles since. It is powered by 1915cc flat-four that is paired to a 4-speed manual transmission, it was re-built less than 5k miles ago and features electronic ignition, dual Weber carburetors, and ceramic coated headers and exhaust. The engine bay is clean and benefits from modern sound deadening on the bulkhead. Other work includes a rebuilt master cylinder, EMPI front disc brakes, rebuilt rear drums, new EMPI strut inserts and 2? drop strut housings, and replaced wear items throughout the suspension. The car retains standard bumpers, lighting, wheels, and exterior trim. The body rubber has been replaced. The interior has been upgraded and it matches the black-on-red exterior. The steering wheel has a matching red rim. The fuel gauge is not working, we suspect a faulty sender as the rest of the components have been replaced. The rest of the interior features are working correctly. The interior has been upgraded with modern sound deadening materials. The sound deadening material on the pillars has been neatly wrapped in the same black vinyl as the headliner. All of the materials are taut and well fitted. The underside of the car, including the inner wheel-wells, is nicely finished. The rear suspension is stock, with new OEM-type bushings, shocks, and bump stops. The front has new polyurethane bushings, OEM tie rods, center links, and springs, plus EMPI strut inserts in 2? drop housings. Rear brakes are stop with all-new components, and the front benefits from an EMPI disc brakes with new lines and a new master cylinder.
