Vehicle Description
This 1964 Volkswagen Beetle is a new restoration and is powered by
a rebuilt 1600cc air-cooled 4-cylinder engine backed by a 4-speed
manual transmission. The entire Bug was dissembled down to the
body, and the underside of the body was sprayed with soundproof
material, and sound-deadening material was installed throughout the
interior. The complete drivetrain, suspension, brake system and
steering have been replaced. The Flat-4 engine is paired to a new
Freeway Flyer transmission with all-new CV axles and bearings. The
original VW steering box was restored, and new King & Link pins
were installed on the 2-inch drop spindles, all attached to a fully
restored VW front beam with height adjusters. All wiring has been
replaced and all necessary grommets were used on all provisions.
The VW's odometer was restored and set at 0000 because of the
restoration and now reads 10 miles. The headliner as well as front
and rear seats were freshened up and all new carpeting was
installed. Additional updates include Wolfsburg West rubber floor
and trunk liners. The sunroof is fully functional, along with dash
and interior lighting. Most of the old VW hardware was replaced
using new Nylok fasteners. The transmission shift linkage was
removed restored with all new bushings and parts. A VW pedal
assembly was completely refurbished. Gold accents were applied to
during restoration to celebrate the one-year 1964 VW Beetle model,
which came with a hard sunroof for the first time and was the last
year for short windows. The exterior was painted blue with chrome
around 15 years ago and gold accents were added during the 2021
restoration. Includes receipts as well as a Lego replica toy.
