Summary
This unique 1951 Volkswagen Beetle features a split-window body mounted on a 1973 pan, powered by a 1,776cc flat-four paired with a 4-speed manual transaxle. Notable modifications include a narrowed and lowered front axle with disc brakes, MSD ignition, and a custom exhaust system. The car has a clean Washington State title, with recent work including a new clutch, valve adjustment, and new tires, though the seller notes paint chips, worn window regulators, and rust in the front firewall.
