This 1958 Volkswagen Beetle ragtop is an exceptionally restored
example where they have taken the time and money to create a unique
classic that keeps all the look you love of an earlier bug, and it
mixes in style, power, and comfort. You see it on the outside where
the silver blue paint fits in with the delicate European colors of
the time, but this has the sleek shine and radiant glow of a modern
application. The salt flat style wheels and upgraded exhaust also
show this one is more than just a well-presented classic. The
interior is dominated by the love of the iconic large ragtop
sunroof, but also don't forget to notice nice details like the
houndstooth seats, retro-style AM/FM stereo, and overall fresh
style. And when you look out back, there is a powerhouse that looks
cleaner and meaner than most. That's because you're looking at a
well-built 1968cc powerhouse. So as you look over this full
package, you're going to find even more investments that make this
custom classic an even more fun driver.

This is truly a unique cruiser. The 1958 car had larger windows to
let in more light, and so that really goes nicely with the big
fabric sunroof to basically feel like a convertible. Plus, this one
even has a pop-out windshield and rear quarter windows. So you can
get a proper breeze moving through the car. So it feels great when
you're driving, and that's the real point of this one. The larger
motor, modern tires, and four-wheel disc brakes greatly enhance the
feeling on the road. The result is a sharp-looking Beetle that
you'll love to drive everywhere. So if you're ready to maximize the
fun, this VW is here for you.... but it won't wait long. Call
