VolksRod, rat rod, hot rod... no matter what you call this 1967
Volkswagen Beetle you already know it's a very cool custom build.
And as you start to look at the details, everything from the clean
under side to the auto-clutch transmission makes it attractive for
far more than its looks.
This little VW will always attract big attention. There's deleted
fenders, windshield sunshade, a racing number on each side, and a
luggage rack so tall it could double as a racing spoiler. The paint
simulates a classic patina, and the studded hood really drivers
home this rat rod style further. The rear love to have bold
protrusions with its bullet-style taillights and big exhaust tips.
The stance is even awesome with meaty BF Goodrich tires in the
rear, and the front is elongated thanks to a suspension stretch kit
by Fabshop104.
Inside, the alligator-style texture of the side panels continues
the cool/custom presentation. But while a rat rod would just be
about lawn chair seats and junkyard parts, this interior is a bit
more thoughtful. The dual bucket seats are borrowed from a more
modern vehicle. So they have good bolstering, recline, and are
covered in a comfy cloth. You also have nice driver upgrades like
the shifter and wood-rimmed Grant GT steering wheel.
While the engine bay does it best to look like a true rat rod (the
license plates lining the back are a particularly nice touch) there
is a look of quality that you can also instantly recognize. It's
everywhere from the fan housing to the upgraded pulleys
w/tensioner. Volkswagen's 1600cc is a strong unit and the largest
displacement of the series that's paired with a 4-speed
transmission. The upgraded headers and exhaust give it the right
sound you want out of this custom Bug.
Volkswagens all have a personality, and this is the Herbie that's
gone to the punk rock side. So if you want an eye-catching custom
offered for quite an obtainable price, call today!!!
