Vehicle Description
This vehicle is located at our Indianapolis location
The GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1974 Volkswagen
Beetle for your consideration. This one of a kind Volkswagen Beetle
has been extensively modified making this the perfect vehicle for a
thrill seeker looking for something nobody else has. The most
notable change that has been made to this Beetle is swapping out
the factory equipped four-cylinder boxer engine for a 5.7L V8 that
sends the power to the rear wheels through a TCI Automotive TH350
Automatic transmission. The engine has been treated to Edelbrock
heads and valve covers, custom headers, Edelbrock AVS2 carburetor,
and much more. Coilover suspension has been fitted to the narrowed
four-link rear end giving this Beetle great off the line
performance. This is a one of a kind vehicle for the enthusiast who
is looking to buy something truly unique.
This Volkswagen was able to achieve this new front engine setup due
to a new chassis that the body sits on which allows this little
Beetle to accommodate the additional power. The exterior is
finished in white over a black cloth interior. The exterior shows
well with some signs of use and enjoyment by the previous owner.
The interior features new driver and passenger cloth bucket seats
which are both manually adjustable.
With the design team being led by the legendary Ferdinand Porsche
the Beetle was completed in 1938 and was the longest-running and
most manufactured car of a single platform ever made with over 21
million Beetles being produced. It was introduced as one of the
first rear-engined cars since the Brass Era as a car for the people
to highlight the country's new road network, the Reichsautobahn.
The original concept behind the first Volkswagen, the company, and
its name is the notion of a people's car - a car affordable and
practical enough for common people to own. Hence the name, which is
literally "people's car" in German.
Price does not include applicable tax, title, license, processing
