Here is a great opportunity to own a true investment grade early Beetle that is stunning in every sense of the word. This 1951 Volkswagen Beetle is a split-window sedan that is finished in beige over tan cloth upholstery and powered by a 1.1-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. It is the first year the Beetle was commercially available and features over 24 improvements over the 50 model year.
The bodywork has been refinished in beige, and equipment includes rubber-lined running boards, chrome trim and bumpers, a driver's mirror, and pillar-mounted semaphore turn indicators. Body-color 15 steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and are wrapped in Firestone Deluxe Champion tires. The braking is provided by mechanical four-wheel drums.
The 1.1-liter flat-four is fitted with a replacement Solex carburetor with throttle pump. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transaxle with upgraded split synchros. Additional equipment includes chrome-finished bumpers, rubber floor mats, rubber-lined running boards, a folding rear seat, and functioning pillar-mounted semaphore turn indicators.
The seats and door panels have been reupholstered in tan striped cloth, and interior equipment includes fresh air vents, storage pockets in the dash, front bucket seats, a folding rear bench, rubber floor mats, crank windows, and a roller throttle pedal. The three-spoke steering wheel frames an 80-mph VDO speedometer with a five-digit odometer showing 57k miles but the title shows exempt.
