1971 VOLKSWAGEN
BEETLE
Clean and Classic 1971 VW Beetle
The Volkswagen Beetle – officially the Volkswagen Type 1, informally in Germany the Käfer (German, "beetle") and in parts of the English-speaking world the Bug – is a two-door, four-passenger, rear-engine economy car that was manufactured and marketed by German automaker Volkswagen (VW) from 1938 until 2003.
There were two Beetles for the first time in 1971, the familiar standard Beetle and a new, larger version, different from the windscreen forward. All Beetles received an engine upgrade: the optional 1500 cc engine was replaced by a 1600 cc with twin-port cylinder heads and a larger, relocated oil cooler.
The new engine produced 60 hp. The ventilation system was improved with the original dash-top vents augmented by a second pair aimed directly at the driver and passenger. The White 1971 VW Beetle we are showing at Skyway Classics is white with a black and gray interior. It features a 1600 cc engine that pumps out about 60 horse at 4200 rpm with a 4 speed manual transmission. Top speed is 90 mph with around 33 mpg gas mileage.
This Beetle is ready to drive you to and from the beach, car show, or shopping mall (you can put your extra bags and luggage on the rooftop carrier) and is fun to drive. Do not hesitate to come see this VW at Skyway Classics and test drive it….you will buy it!
