Volkswagen Beetle Typ1 2275 CC 1970
General description :
VERY UNIQUE CUSTOM BUILD! GREAT PAINT! STRONG 2275cc ENGINE, 4SPD, FUN SHOW CAR!
A one of a kind ride that's been built by renowned experts with an attention to detail that's obvious everywhere you look. That certainly doesn't come along very often. This 1970 VW Beetle is just that. It went from concept to reality in front of admiring onlookers in a scant 72 hours as a featured project on Speed Network's Car Warriors and now stands ready to bring its magic to your garage.
While it's not too hard to find someone who can handle air tools and a welder, the skillfully executed modifications this Bug features from front to back are far beyond the realm of all but true automotive artists, so as the group of Car Warriors gathered to show why they're so respected among their peers, a cautionary "Don't try This At Home" would certainly apply. Its roof has been chopped to sit 5" lower than originally and it cruises just above the ground, with a widened and elongated stance that gives it an identity all its own. Up front, you'll see its "F Bomb" moniker displayed via a killer graphic that seems to lift right off the burgundy metallic paint that surrounds it, bracketed by the pair of exposed shocks that provide a great look. If you step to the side, you'll see more handiwork that makes it appear as if that same paint lifts back to expose the steel underneath with a jaw-dropping 3D effect. In spite of all the modifications, everything you see sits perfectly in place, as if it began that way - no unevenness between body panels and everything in impressive proportion. This is truly one badass Bug.
One look at the gray cloth interior will also tell you it's no mere well-executed curiosity either - this car is built to drive. The pair of Konig bucket seats look great inside - they're plenty comfortable, featuring a lot of bolstering for support and their industrial-looking frames are a perfect match for the rest of the interior. Just beyond the custom steering wheel, an MPG GPS speedometer sits alongside VDO gauges and a pair of monitors connected to back-up cameras on the aluminum dash. Bring along your iPod or other Bluetooth device and connect it inside to access endless audio options - whatever you land on, the custom amp and subwoofers mounted inside will make the sound come alive. Raise the awesome illustrated hood and you'll see the fuel tank and a well-secured battery sitting up front. This VW is built for two and leaves some storage space behind the buckets for some modestly sized items.
A 2275 cc engine powers this lightweight street rod, sitting on full display in the exposed rear engine compartment, with its custom-fabricated exhaust standing at attention as if locked and loaded for action. Some aftermarket attention has enhanced its power and it sounds great as it sings into its headers while propelling this aggressive-looking VW down the highway. The powerplant is paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. It rides with undeniable presence on a set of 15" American Racing wheels that have been outfitted with Hankook Optima tires in front and Hankook Ventus H101 Tires in back. Disc brakes at all four corners - with upgraded Wilwoods up front - provide dependable, fade-resistant stopping power.
This very well-executed custom 1970 VW Beetle is sure to draw admiring glances and make strong impressions wherever you take it. Call today!

About Volkswagen
The Volkswagen story is indeed an intriguing tale of innovation, resilience, and post-war revival, marked by various models that have become iconic in automotive history.The People's Car (Volkswagen): Initially envisioned by Adolf Hitler in the 1930s as a "people's car" or "Volkswagen" in German, the idea was to create an affordable and practical vehicle for the German people. This concept led to the development of the Volkswagen Beetle (or the Type 1), designed by Ferdinand Porsche.
Post-War Challenges: After World War II, Volkswagen faced significant challenges. The factory was heavily damaged, and the brand's association with the Nazi regime led to a lack of interest in the car in some regions.
British Intervention - The British Army & Ivan Hirst: The British Army took control of the factory in the immediate post-war period. Major Ivan Hirst, a British Army officer, played a crucial role in reviving Volkswagen. He recognized the potential of the Beetle and advocated for its production, convincing the British military to order several thousand cars. This decision helped jumpstart the brand's revival.
Export Success and the Beetle's Global Appeal: The Beetle gained popularity not only in Germany but also globally, becoming an icon of affordable motoring. Its simple, reliable design and unique appearance made it a favorite among consumers worldwide.
Model Evolution: Over the years, Volkswagen introduced various models alongside the Beetle, each contributing to the brand's growth:
Type 2 (VW Bus or Transporter): Introduced in the 1950s, it became an iconic symbol of the hippie movement in the 1960s, loved for its spaciousness and versatility.
Golf (Rabbit in the U.S.): Launched in the mid-1970s, the Golf (or Rabbit in the U.S.) marked a shift towards front-wheel-drive, modern design, and hatchback practicality, becoming a cornerstone of the brand's success.
Passat, Jetta, and Other Models: Volkswagen expanded its lineup with models like the Passat and Jetta, catering to different market segments.
Challenges and Innovations: Despite success, Volkswagen faced challenges, including quality issues in the 1970s. However, the brand continued to innovate and develop new models and technologies.
Rise of the GTI and Global Expansion: The 1980s saw the rise of the iconic Golf GTI, a high-performance version that sparked the hot hatch trend. Volkswagen also expanded its global presence during this period.
The British intervention in reviving Volkswagen after World War II played a pivotal role in the brand's resurgence. While there might have been some tensions or competition among automotive companies in the 1950s and 1960s due to Volkswagen's post-war success, the brand's ability to produce innovative and popular models solidified its place in automotive history.
