Vehicle Description
A one of a kind ride that's been built by renowned experts with an
attention to detail that's obvious everywhere you look. That
certainly doesn't come along very often. This 1970 VW Beetle is
just that. It went from concept to reality in front of admiring
onlookers in a scant 72 hours as a featured project on Speed
Network's Car Warriors and now stands ready to bring its magic to
your garage.
While it's not too hard to find someone who can handle air tools
and a welder, the skillfully executed modifications this Bug
features from front to back are far beyond the realm of all but
true automotive artists, so as the group of Car Warriors gathered
to show why they're so respected among their peers, a cautionary
"Don't try This At Home" would certainly apply. Its roof has been
chopped to sit 5" lower than originally and it cruises just above
the ground, with a widened and elongated stance that gives it an
identity all its own. Up front, you'll see its "F Bomb" moniker
displayed via a killer graphic that seems to lift right off the
burgundy metallic paint that surrounds it, bracketed by the pair of
exposed shocks that provide a great look. If you step to the side,
you'll see more handiwork that makes it appear as if that same
paint lifts back to expose the steel underneath with a jaw-dropping
3D effect. In spite of all the modifications, everything you see
sits perfectly in place, as if it began that way - no unevenness
between body panels and everything in impressive proportion. This
is truly one badass Bug.
One look at the gray cloth interior will also tell you it's no mere
well-executed curiosity either - this car is built to drive. The
pair of Konig bucket seats look great inside - they're plenty
comfortable, featuring a lot of bolstering for support and their
industrial-looking frames are a perfect match for the rest of the
interior. Just beyond the custom steering wheel, an MPG GPS
speedometer sits alongside VDO gauges and a pair of monitors
connected to back-up cameras on the aluminum dash. Bring along your
iPod or other Bluetooth device and connect it inside to access
endless audio options - whatever you land on, the custom amp and
subwoofers mounted inside will make the sound come alive. Raise the
awesome illustrated hood and you'll see the fuel tank and a
well-secured battery sitting up front. This VW is built for two and
leaves some storage space behind the buckets for some modestly
sized items.
A 2275 cc engine powers this lightweight street rod, sitting on
full display in the exposed rear engine compartment, with its
custom-fabricated exhaust standing at attention as if locked and
loaded for action. Some aftermarket attention has enhanced its
power and it sounds great as it sings into its headers while
propelling this aggressive-looking VW down the highway. The
powerplant is paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. It rides
with undeniable presence on a set of 15" American Racing wheels
that have been outfitted with Hankook Optima tires in front and
Hankook Ventus H101 Tires in back. Disc brakes at all four corners
- with upgraded Wilwoods up front - provide dependable,
fade-resistant stopping power.
This very well-executed custom 1970 VW Beetle is sure to draw
admiring glances and make strong impressions wherever you take it.
