This Volkswagen Beetle (Split Window) got away, but there are more like it here.
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. Equipment includes body-color 15″ steel wheels, chrome-finished bumpers, a Solex carburetor, rubber mats, a folding rear seat, and pillar-mounted semaphore turn indicators. The car reportedly underwent a refurbishment and was acquired by the current owner in 2012. This split-window Beetle is now offered at no reserve on dealer consignment with a tool kit, an instruction manual, and a California title.
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. Photos of blemishes are provided in the gallery below.
Body-color 15″ steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and are wrapped in Firestone Deluxe Champion tires. Braking is provided by mechanical four-wheel drums.
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. Total mileage is unknown.
The 1.1-liter flat-four is reportedly fitted with a replacement Solex carburetor with a throttle pump. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transaxle with upgraded split synchros.
Additional photos of the underside are provided in the image gallery.
A tool kit is included in the sale along with a jack and an instruction manual.
