1956 Volkswagen Beetle 51832 Miles Blue Coupe 1766cc Flat 4cylinder 4 Speed Man

Description

Conceived as a simple cheap easy to produce family car the Volkswagen Käfer translated from German into People's Car named Beetle. The car went on to be extremely successful all over the world and "Volkswagen Culture" defined generations of Americans. In July 2003 the last Beetle rolled off the production line in Mexico. Over 21 million units were produced and the little Beetle came in fourth place in the worldwide "car of the century" competition in 1999. Our 1956 Beetle is one of the last y...ears to feature the rare and distinctive "Oval" rear window. Just five years of production featured this style before the larger rear window was implemented. According to the owner a restoration was completed in 2000 and there are less than 12k miles on the new engine. That engine is a 1776 cc 4-cylinder with dual carburetors blowing through custom performance exhaust that really accents that classic air cooled sound. A four speed manual seems to shift smoothly and has a good feeling clutch. With a unique blue color and clean interior with black leather seats this beetle is a looker. Decent paint quality good chrome aftermarket wood steering wheel and aftermarket 15in chrome wheels are all hallmarks of this example. The engine bay is clean and the newer engine looks very sharp. New electric 12v ignition means this Beetle is also more reliable. A unique head turner this Beetle is a 51 year old piece of rolling history.
