Default FS (MD): 1970/2000 Mexican Classic Beetle

SOLD




$9,000 - SOLD!!!

A truly rare car. Beautiful example of the modern 2000 Mexican bug on a 1970 tunnel.
Most of this car is only 12 years old. They continued production of these in Puebla, Mexico until 2003.
Registered, titled, insured as a 1970 Beetle, clear title, all the modern conveniences:

- Air conditioning (factory) - recently replaced dryer and ice-cold spec recharge
- Hydraulic lifters (no periodic valve adjustments)
- One year old exhaust with integrated catalytic converter
- Factory security with ignition and fuel pump cutout
- Halogen headlights (H4 bulbs)
- JVC digital media head unit with Bluetooth (music and phone)
- Top-end JL Audio rear speakers and JL Audio front speakers
- Sound deadening throughout - Second Skin Damplifier Pro and Luxury Liner Pro
- TMI full carpet kit
- Undercoated, solid pans

Recently completed maintenance & upgrades:
- New modern Continental tires all around
- New DieHard battery
- New Bosch alternator (not a rebuild)
- New alternator belt included
- New battery cables
- New tank/filler fuel lines
- Classic Scirocco steering wheel (original included)
- Classic walnut Wolfsburg shift knob
- Short shift kit and new shifter components (including rear linkage)
- Oil changed, transmission fluid changed, greased front beam
- Front pads changed, rears adjusted
- Full alignment
- Empi-style polished aluminum 8 spokes
- 2.5" drop spindles up front

Approximately 48,000 miles (smaller front tires read up to 20% high on speedometer/odometer), ~78,000km on odometer.

Other relevant info:
- Almost never driven in the rain (sometimes you get caught out!)
- A couple of minor rust spots (body only), but not growing since I've owned it
- Drives great, starts right up every time

Selling because it's been a fun car and a fun project, but we really need a slightly more practical second car.

Thanks. It was a solid car when I got it. All the stuff listed above is what I've done. Almost everything I did do myself.
