Description:

This custom Volkswagen Beetle was modified and refurbished under previous ownership by D&J Auto of Fountain Valley, California, using the chassis from a 1963 Beetle and the body from a 1955 Beetle, and it is finished in metallic yellow over a tan vinyl and tweed interior. The car rides on a four-wheel adjustable air suspension with a narrowed front axle beam and dropped spindles. Power comes from an air-cooled 2,276cc flat-four that is equipped with dual Weber 44 IDF carburetors and is mated to a four-speed manual transaxle that has been modified with a "Freeway Flyer" gearset. Additional details include an A-1 Sidewinder exhaust system, electronic ignition, an extended capacity oil sump, and an MST billet serpentine belt system as well as 15? five-spoke alloy wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, a 12-volt electrical system, a Dehne fuel level gauge, a Gene Berg shifter, and a retro-style Bluetooth stereo.

Interior:

The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench that have been re-shaped with replacement foam and trimmed in tan vinyl with tweed inserts. Matching door panels, a tweed headliner, and replacement carpets have also been fitted along with a Gene Berg shifter, lap belts, and a retro-style Bluetooth stereo with four 6.5-inch Rockford Fosgate speakers, a 10-inch subwoofer, and a Sony 5-channel amplifier.

Exterior:

The oval-window body has been refinished in metallic yellow and features shaved beltline trim, 12-volt semaphore indicators, and European-specification headlight lenses. Additional details include ice pick-style door handles, chrome jackhole covers, Hella "snowflake" taillight lenses, rear accent lights, and chrome bumpers with overriders. Dark chrome-finished 15? five-spoke wheels wear Porsche-crest center caps, feature flush-mounted valve stems, and are wrapped with 145-series Michelin XZX tires up front and 195/65 Michelin Defender XT tires out back. The floorpan was powder-coated black, and the car rides on a four-wheel adjustable air suspension with a narrowed front axle beam and dropped spindles. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes, and work in January 2024 consisted of replacing the front brake hoses and bleeding the system.

Drivetrain:

The air-cooled flat-four has been modified to displace 2,276cc utilizing an (AK) dual-relief engine case that has been fitted with dual Weber 44 IDF carburetors, an electric fuel pump, an MST billet serpentine belt system, an extended-capacity oil sump, and a remote spin-on oil filter as well as a replacement wiring harness, a 12-vots system.
