1970 Volkswagen Beetle - Classic - 90% NEW RESTORED - 1641CC - LOWERED

1969.5 split year vehicle, meaning it has the 1969 setup (NOT 1970) even though it's a 1970- meaning much more desirable less 70's "tech"
I bought this car roughly 3.5 years ago, spent a bunch of time (and money) doing the resto myself, in my garage, however the engine and trans were outsourced.I replaced 99% of everything on this car, no joke, just about everything is brand new. You will NOT find a newer 1970 VW Beetle for sale at this price.
I moved from GA to TX for work, only have 1 car garage and this car is in it, unfortunately time for it to go, have no time to enjoy.
The engine- is a 1641CC, took a 1600CC and completely rebuilt into a 1641CC turn key setup for me by Herrell BugParts in Carrollton, GA. Completely new internals - These guys are premier old school bug guys and did a fantastic job.They converted the engine from an generator to alternator, brand new EMPI 34 PICT carb, running a SVDA distributor (runs on vacuum & RPM advance)
Trans- Herrells also supplied me with a completely rebuilt 4 speed transmission, this thing is beautiful (average person would think it came out of the VW factory) - 4 speed manual, shifts like butter (all new poly shift bushings) and runs 70-75MPH on highway with no drama

General InfoI repaired all the rust on the car, replaced the drivers lower door hinge (was just about rotted off) so I welded in a new hinge.I replaced 3 of the 4 floor panels (PO had replaced 1) so I welded in all the sectionsRepaired miscellaneous rust holes (parcel shelf, wheel wells, under front hood, light heater channel work)Sealed 80% of the car with POR-15 - prevents rust ever againWheel wells sealed with liner sprayThe body has been sanded down to bear metal on most of the car (there was like 4 different layers built up over the years) - the only parts not sanded were the front fenders (they are new), the front hood and the rear deck-lid.Interior painted pistachio green (nice vintage look with the white exterior)
The inside floor, roof, fire wall, door panels all covered with sound deadening material (dyno mat style)
The car is currently plasti-dipped white, then iron shavings were added, made to rust with a solution and then clear coated to give a patina finish that will last.This fools everyone and I get told "just clear coat that car and keep that finish"..lolSo if you wanted to, you could simply peel the paint coating off and paint whatever color you wanted. I could never decide on a perm color and the body work would be a cost as well.
Wheels & Tires;Front- factory size 15's with brand new Yokohama Avid Envigor 145/65/15Rear- 7" German widened wheels with new american DOT approved barrels with new Champiro GT 195/55/15Hubcaps are brand new chrome "moon" hubcapsWheels painted pistachio green
Need's;The only thing this car needs is the rear seat installed.I just never installed because I wanted to delete the rear seat.I have the seat, it's black, it can be installed however I would reupholster to match or better choice do a rear seat delete and simply fully carpet it to give a clean space in the back (roll cage..hint hint)
Final Items
Car runs strong, sounds great, shifts great and stops perfect - This car is as new as you'll find today for this price. There are some full restorations to factory specs for twice the price.
The car has roughly 250 miles on it since completed, oil has been changed, car is ALWAYS garaged, never seen rain or snow and is purely a weekend car.
Car is currently registered in GA, in my name, no loans, the car is being sold without a title, bill of sale only. Title not required to register and drive in a lot of states because it's 50 years old. You could apply for a title in your state if required.
Feel free to contact me with any questions, I'm sure I'm missing more parts and work. Oh and a bunch of extra stuff comes with, including the extra set of front wheels & tires in the garage pic!
