Vehicle Description
This custom is about starting with a 1963 Volkswagen Beetle and
applying some cool old-school custom hot rod practices to create a
unique and fun Volksrod. And because a street machine like this is
all about power, don't forget to take some time to check out all
that extra hardware in the rear.
The recipe starts with the lovable Beetle, but then it adds in some
serious attitude. It begins with chopping inches out of the roof
for a wind-swept style. The sleekness continues with removing the
fenders and smoothing the inner panels. Move up the front
suspension and give it the stance of a street machine (don't you
just love those classic Firestone dragster cheater slicks?) And the
paint has that right look of a metallic shine that is never too
fancy for the streets. Now add in plenty of cool touches like the
tri-bar headlights with integrated signals, smoothie hub covers,
and plenty of pinstriping. Now you're looking at a '32 Ford rat rod
that speaks with a German accent.
Shaved door handles and deleted side windows mean you reach in to
open the doors, which is another classic hot rod touch. There are
nice comfort upgrades like the full carpeting and two-tone leather
seats with well-bolstered buckets up front. There's even an AM/FM
touchscreen stereo with Bluetooth and a powered subwoofer for an
impressive sound system. But no one is going to accuse this mean
machine of going soft. The nicely worn-in wood-rimmed steering
wheel and EMPI shifter are made for real drivers.
Just like a classic hot rod, the engine bay is ready to be on full
display. It showcases the distinct red engine cover, polished
components, a tidy style, and even the fan shroud is fully matched
to the exterior - including the pinstripes. This is a younger
Autolinea dual-port 1600cc motor, and it's believed to be stroked
to a large 2200cc. Plus, there's an EMPI pulley kit, Flamethrower
ignition, and a dual set of EMPI two-barrel carbs. And the polished
exhaust header is a terrific-looking way to add power and growl.
And you get proper control over all this added power with the
four-speed manual transmission. The extended front suspension means
hot rod style hairpins and bright Aldan adjustable coilovers on
display. And this meaner VW even has four-wheel disc brakes.
You're likely never going to find another custom Volksrod out there
guaranteed to grab as much attention or put as big a smile on your
face for this low of a price. So don't miss this custom. Call
