Volkswagen Käfer (1973)

Vehicle description

Introduction

One of the most famous classic car models is without a doubt the VW Beetle. We go back to the year 1934, when a certain Ferdinand Porsche received the order to develop an inexpensive car - the birth of the Beetle. To date, almost 21.5 million beetles have been produced worldwide. And the Beetle still enjoys an absolute cult status and enjoys a huge fan base.

General information about the vehicle

A restored VW Beetle is now offered for auction here. The vehicle with the VIN 1132520836 had only two previous owners to date. The current general inspection is valid until August 2024 and the popular H license plate certifies the car its classic car status. In addition, the VW Beetle has a German registration and is in running condition. The car is said to be accident-free by the owner.

Characteristics

  • Exterior & interior: Since the restoration, the VW Beetle has been shining in a special brown paint finish. Since then, no repainting has been carried out. The exterior is combined with matching painted rims and black hubcaps. Inside, the Beetle convinces with a color combination of black and brown, which nicely rounds off the overall design. According to the information available to us, the equipment is made of leather.
  • Engine and transmission: In the course of the restoration, a 4-cylinder boxer engine with 2.7 liters and a sporty 220 hp was installed. A manual gearbox ensures the accurate transmission of power to the axles of the Beetle. The last service was completed in April 2023.
  • Mileage: The visually appealing speedometer shows 2527 km. According to the current owner, this value is understandable.
  • Documentation: In addition to the vehicle registration document and registration certificate, a valuation report from 2022 is also available. The VW Beetle completed this with a grade of 1 and a restoration value of € 95,500.

Highlights

  • The Beetle offered here is an overall driving highlight. Since the restoration, this vehicle has some special features to offer. This certainly includes the body of the 1960s. In the front area, LED turn signals were installed in ventilation grilles. For this purpose, a so-called CAN bus system was installed, which enables precise data exchange between ECUs. In addition, newly upholstered full bucket seats from the König brand and a sports steering wheel from Raid are installed in the interior. Other highlights include: A Wilke racing engine, a custom-made stainless steel exhaust system, Bilstein racing shock absorbers, a Porsche brake system, a 5-speed racing gearbox, a front axle stabilizer, a main power switch, a fire extinguisher and a contemporary tachometer.

Condition

  • The owner certifies that the Porsche brake system is in mint condition
  • The tire tread is very good and also as good as new
  • The underbody rust-free and unwelded condition
  • The exterior and interior are in an apparently flawless condition
  • At this point, we also recommend that you look through the professional series of pictures

Summary

  • The VW Beetle offered here became a visual and technical highlight due to the restoration. The overall condition of the car can be described as very good, which is confirmed by the appraisal with the grade 1-. Car fans, enthusiasts and enthusiasts have the unique chance to bid for a great vehicle with a low mileage and rich equipment.

      Guten Morgen Es handelt sich um eine Kerscher/ Porsche Bremsanlage, demnach auch um deren Radnaben. Ich bin "nur" der Fahrer ;-) Falls mein Nachfolger andere Felgen wünscht können diese durch eine Adapterplatte angepasst werden. Gruß

      Für welchen Zweck wurde denn ein Can Bus mit mehreren Steuergeräten verbaut? Welche Funktionen decken diese Steuergeräte ab?

        Aufgrund dem Wegfall der Knöpfe zur Beleuchtung. Sobald der Motor läuft leuchtet das Abblendlicht

        Sind die nicht H-konformen LED Blinker eingetragen und wie wird die Frontscheibe beheizt, der TÜV verlangt ja eine Heizmöglichkeit?

          Sehr geehrter Interessent, Die nicht H- konformen LED Blinker sind nicht eingetragen und die Frontscheibe wird nicht beheizt, welches bislang keinen TÜV Prüfer gestört oder gar bemängelt hat.

          Das sich die Sitze in der Neigung verstellen lassen kann ich an den Fotos erkennen. Die Frage ist ob die Rückenlehne kippbar ist? Quasi wie wenn hinten eine Sitzgelegenheit wäre und jemand einsteigen will.

            Nein, die Sitze lassen sich nur in der Tiefe verstellen und wie beschrieben in der Neigung. Das war auch nie der Plan. Einzig die Möglichkeit zum reinigen der Scheiben wurde "eingeplant".

          • 01.07.2023 16:40

            Kann der Fahrersitz nach vorne gekippt werden oder ist der starr?

              Sehr geehrter Interessent, die Lehnen der Sitze lassen sich verstellen.
