THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new ownerat NO RESERVEis this classic 1974 Volkswagen beetle bug!
Finished in signal orange over black and grey, this blue California license plate example sports a great running 1.6 liter four cylinder engine mated to the factory 4 speed transmission, original 15" wheels with chrome hubcaps and new tires, cd stereo. The true mileage is unknown. It is being sold with clean and clear California title in my name with current 2018 registration. This smog-exempt classic is a great find here on ebay for about the cost of the sale tax alone on a new, quickly depreciating VW!
THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this car is in quite good 99.9% dry, clean rust-free overall condition.The paint finish sports a very good overall shine with Imperfections that includea few expected rock nicks,scuffs scratches, minor corrosion bubbling on the left reat quarter and other light cosmetic blemishes one would expect on a 40 plus year-old vehicle. Overall this is still one very eye-catching classic!
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos here, the interior of this 1974 VW is in fair to good overall condition with very nice uncut door panels, working horn, lights and blinkers. The floor boards look to be very solid, the remaining carpet pieces are tattered, there are a couple of dash cracks, the seat upholstery is worn and a bit torn, the radio powers up but no sound from the speakers and the headliner is very tattered near the rear window.
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This 1974 Beetle starts easily with excellent running engine, nice shifting transmission, straight and true braking with good pedal feel, tight and responsive steering, crisp handling and taut ride. This is a still fun driving, peppy little car!
