Vehicle Description
This 1968 Volkswagen Beetle has a Pabst Blue Ribbon theme, but you
could be a wine drinker and still see the appeal here. After all,
there's just something extra cool about a patina classic with the
right custom touches...especially when offered at a value
price.
This VW has a fun look and an aged-in style that makes it a car
that looks like it has earned the right to cruise everywhere. Most
of the patina is sealed in with a clearcoat. Plus, there are more
paint details like plenty of red pinstriping and the Pabst Blue
Ribbon graphics painted on the doors. A nice touch is painting the
bumpers and running boards white. It gives this the unique look
like it's a beer delivery truck's little brother. It also adds more
attention to the coordinating white wheels, and how those extra
wide rear tires give it an awesome stance.
The interior is basic, and that's part of the cool theme. The
exposed welds and Blue Ribbon hops sacks for door panels are part
of the rat rod fun. However, if you're looking for added creature
comforts, you also can see this is a blank slate to get creative.
And just about every component you'd want to personalize is
surprisingly affordable in the deep availability of VW catalogs.
And all your essentials are already in place, like the VDO readout
and classic steering wheel with Wolfsburg crest.
Under the rear hatch is the famous flat-four powerhouse. It's a
desirable dual-port motor, which is also correct for the era. This
has an honest look of a true driver that has been given good
maintenance along the way, including a newer fuel pump, fuel
filter, and carburetor. It fires up nicely with an eagerness to hit
the road. And features like the four-speed manual transmission,
independent suspension, and upgraded tire package make for a fun
driving classic.
There's a touch of rat rod feeling in this Beetle, and that means
it's a fun bare bones cruiser as it is. And the affordable price
means you can personalize it even further if you like. So you can
add an extra comfy interior to contrast the patina exterior, or
maybe maximize the power components on the hardy flat-four for a
true rat rod street machine. The large Beetle community makes the
possibilities nearly endless, especially when you have something so
distinct from day one. Call today!!!
