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
underside to a fresh tune-up makes it attractive for far more than
its looks.
This little VW will always attract big attention. The paint
simulates a classic patina, and the studded hood really drives home
this rat rod style further. There are also deleted fenders, a
windshield sunshade, and a racing number on each side. The rear
loves to have bold protrusions with its bullet-style tail lights
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. The
full motor housing has a clean and bright presentation from a
recent upgrade to bright red. And more than just look good, you
also have newer items like the carburetor, spark plugs, gaskets,
and distributor cap. And the pulley system not only has a bright
style, but you also have a tensioner on it. Volkswagen's 1600cc
flat-four is a strong unit and the largest displacement of the
series. The exhaust gives it the right sound you want out of this
custom Bug. And you are in full control of this motor and its
soundtrack thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. There are
even brand new brakes to make this rat rod a true easy cruiser.
The sale comes complete with title documentation and maintenance
records. 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!
