There's something great about a custom Beetle. It's the recipe of taking German precision, adding an affordable parts network, and topping this one off with custom touches to make people turn heads. That's why we love an affordable classic like this 1970 VW Beetle convertible. Let's start with that awesome paint scheme. The metallic blue looks like it was borrowed from a modern supercar palette, and the cleracoat white is just as shiny and matches the folding roof nicely. But these contemporary colors come together to give this Beetle a cool connection to its history when they started offering ragtops over two decades before. Heck, it even has retro-cool whitewall tires! But there is something more modern about this Beetle, too. Just look at the crystal clear headlights and turn signals. Of course, we cannot forget all that extra brightwork. It's not only on bold places like the headlights and the hubcaps, but also subtle touches like providing a dividing line for the two-tone body colors.Inside is a custom interior built for comfort. The door panels have a cool two-tone appearance. The high-back bucket seats that came on the later models are particularly comfortable for all-day cruising now with the gray cloth inserts. Another nice feature is a newer AM/FM/CD stereo with more powerful speakers in the kick panels. After all, who wants to hit the road without their favorite tunes, especially in a car that just screams "summertime fun" like this one. And for some extra sporty touches, there is a chrome three-spoke steering wheel and a Scat sports shifter. Still, even with all these upgrades, the interior of this VW continues to carry that simple and sturdy feeling that comes from decades of building these cars correctly.The familiar 1600 cc air-cooled flat four engine is a big part of the Beetle's appeal, with its bulletproof reliability and familiar whistling exhaust note. This is linked to the sturdy and versatile four-speed manual transmission, which allows you to get the most out of the motor. It makes for an unbeatable package that provides reliability and fun driving. So this is the classic that you never have to think twice about going for a joy ride when the mood strikes you.Beetle ownership is the ticket into one of the friendliest car clubs around, and this custom convertible will make them all want to come to you. It's an affordable way to turn heads and get attention, but at the same time you're getting a turnkey classic that's easy to love and maintain. Call now!!
