This 1970 Volkswagen Beetle was refurbished and modified in Europe before being imported to the U.S. under previous ownership. Finished in the Audi color of Nogaro Blue over a black interior, this Beetle features Classic Touring bucket seats, a MOMO Prototipo steering wheel, a roll bar, Koni shocks, front and rear sway bars, Porsche Boxster front brakes, and Porsche Cup 1-style 17” wheels. It derives power from an over-bored 1.9-liter flat-four engine with twin Weber 40 IDF carburetors, CB Performance intake manifolds and cylinder heads, 94mm Mahle pistons and cylinders, Gene Berg chromoly pushrods, an Engle FK-8 camshaft, a 123ignition distributor, and a CSP Products Python exhaust. This tastefully modified Beetle is now being offered for auction out of California.

This Beetle has been refinished in the Audi color of Nogaro Blue, including a fully powder-coated chassis. It comes equipped with body-colored bumpers, black running boards, dual side mirrors, Hella vintage-style yellow fog lights, a front-mounted oil cooler, a 23-slot engine cover, and Porsche Cup 1-style 17”x7.5” five-spoke wheels. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.

The black interior has been redone and fitted with a roll bar, Classic Touring bucket seats, Sparco safety harnesses, and a three-spoke MOMO Prototipo steering wheel. Other accessories include a Bug-Tech shifter, black rubber floor mats, VDO instrumentation, dashboard-mounted auxiliary gauges, and an under-dash stereo.

Power comes from a replacement air-cooled flat-four engine sourced from a Volkswagen Type 3. It has been rebuilt to a 1.9-liter displacement and features twin Weber 40 IDF carburetors, CB Performance Big Beef IDF intake manifolds, CB Performance Panchito 044 cylinder heads, 94mm Mahle pistons and cylinders, an Engle FK-8 camshaft, Gene Berg chromoly pushrods, 1.4 ratio hi-lift rocker arms, and a 69mm eight-pin counterweight crankshaft. The engine also includes a HARDI electric fuel pump, a 30mm oil pump, a front-mounted oil cooler, a 123ignition distributor, and a CSP Products Python exhaust system. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transaxle with urethane mounts. The suspension features front and rear stabilizer bars, adjustable front axle supports, a steering damper, and Koni shock absorbers. The front brakes have been converted to discs with Porsche Boxster 4-piston calipers.

This sale will include a clean title.
