Re: 1970 beetle

The 59 is all original. It has the 1200 cc motor. But yes. 36 hp.

Re: 1970 beetle

Looks like another good one. Just a few more and we'll need a Beetle section here.

Re: 1970 beetle

That is a nice looking beetle. I had a 67 but it was stolen and stripped down when I lived in az. It looks nice. I wish I had a duel port motor. It really opens up the possible carb selection.

Re: 1970 beetle

I did a 70 bug before I got my truck.
Started as a baja, I made it back to street, chopped the top, and did lots of otherlittle fun stuff, the hippie headliner being one of my favorites:

Re: 1970 beetle

Brother 68 and my 70.

Might be time to relive my youth.
My black car had 2110cc with 44 webers. Quick little bastard.

Best story is I outran a 80's c10 with a big block. He couldn't believe it and I couldn't stop smiling.. Ha

Re: 1970 beetle

They both look good. I just bought a engine case to start building a 2180 or 2276. My current engine is poring out with every oil change.
