This 64 Volkswagen is an absolutely beautiful example of one of
these cars. It is easily one of the nicest we have ever seen and we
don't make statements like that often. It may be labeled as a VW
but you almost have to look at it as more of a custom show car. If
you are looking for a run of the mill Beetle then this may not be
the car for you. However, if a top of the line, better then new
Beetle that guarantees trophies is on your list then you just found
it. It went through a full body off build process and has less than
100 miles since being completed. The paint is absolutely beautiful
and was completed by Jacks Paint Place in Converse, TX. The Black
Cherry Pearl really comes to life out in the sun and suits the car
well. The custom Stockton wheels are painted to match and feature
chrome hubcaps. All of the stainless trim is in excellent condition
with a nice shine. You really aren't going to find a weak area
anywhere on this car. We can't emphasize enough how well built this
bug is.
The 2332cc motor was built by Harmon Racing out of Irving, TX and
runs extremely well. The car is surprisingly quick and sounds
great. Check out the list below to see all the internals of the
motor.
84mm SCAT forged type 4 main journal crank with center main trust
setup and 2 inch rod journals
SCAT billet flanged flywheel with street/strip clutch disc to a
Kennedy Stage 2 pressure plate
SCAT rods and 94mm Wiseco pistons
30mm full flow oil pump with billet 2 piece oil filter mounted on a
JayCee billet oil filter bracket
3/8 inch chromoly pushrods in JayCee 2 piece pushrod tubes
Empi valve covers with chromoly head studs
Dog house fan shroud with a welded and balanced fan
Black powder coated alternator
All stainless steel plumbing and fittings for oil/fuel lines
Stainless steel 1 3/4 inch exhaust and polished SS muffler
External oil cooler and fan set up
Multiple spark discharge MSD 6-AL box and MSD coil
Haltech Engine Control Unit brain and wiring for electronic fuel
injection system
Every piece of this car was professionally done and it shows. The
EFI system was installed by Alamo Auto Sports in Arlington, TX and
the transaxle built by The Bug Stop in Arlington. It has a Gene
Berg 12 inch shifter with 40% reduced throw and moves through the
gears perfectly. The front and rear disc brakes are from Empi and
utilize stainless steel braided lines throughout. The suspension
features KYB shocks and an Arkewld ultimate adjustable front beam
for a nice smooth ride down the road.
Most VW interiors are pretty plain and most of the time look the
same. This car however is totally unique. If we showed you pictures
of just the interior most people would think they are looking
inside of a high end street rod. Prior to being done the interior
cabin was coated with Lizard skin spray for heat and sound control.
It was then finished out by Classic Customs in Converse, TX with
Beige faux leather which covers the seats and door panels. It is
very comfortable and easily one of the nicest VW interiors you will
ever see. The dash was painted to match the body and is topped off
with Black VDO gauges and an Alpine stereo system. It doesn't stop
there though because the trunk was finished out just as nicely with
matching upholstery. It houses an Alpine amp and even the gas tank
was painted to match the body.
The level of detail on this car is top of the line and puts it up
on the level of any custom show car out there.
You couldn't build this thing for our asking price of
$29,250.00!
