1971 Volkswagen Beetle - Classic Description

I'm going to give you as much info as I can to avoid a bunch of questions. This car started life in California and then to Arizona. I believe I'm the third owner. I have had this car for around 15 years. And probably put less than 5000 miles on it since I have owned it. The majority of the time it sits in my garage. As for as I know this car is completely original with the exception of the wheels, shifter and stereo. All the glass is in nice shape and original with the exception of the windshield.I still have the stock AM radio that works and goes with the car. The engine is the stock 1600cc singe port that has had chrome added to it. I have never changed it. It runs great. I just put a new carb a battery into it. The tires are almost new and have the warrenty certificates through discount tire here in Arizona. The top was professionally done a few years ago by Augastinos in Mesa AZ. I spent $2500 on the new canvas top, liner and pad. It also has a boot cover as seen in the pics. The car has always had a bra on it thus, the heavy surface rust on the tip of the hood. It has a nice sound system in it. 10" boxed Audiobahn subs and 5 1/4" Scoutch speakers in custom front kick panels. I'm not sure of the whole Formula Vee thing. The only thing I found in my research is that they are rare, and only came across one picture of a car that was branded like mine. That and Kevin Bacon collects them. The car doesn't drip or burn any oil. It will go down the road in Arizona summers and always run cool. Just a very clean and fun car to drive. I get a lot of thumbs up going down the road and people constantly coming up to me and asking about her. I'm really going to miss this car but, it's time she goes to someone who will appreciate her and drive her. The transaction will take place in my driveway in cash and a handshake. No scammers here! As nice as this car is, it is being sold as is. She's 46 years old and ready for you mid life crisis. I have told you as much as I can think of and been as honest as I can be. Feel free to message me with any questions or concerns you may have. Thank you for looking! BTW, I get visitation rights...
