Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is honored to present for sale,
on consignment, this absolutely bonkers 1966 Volkswagen Beetle.
This 57 oval window body was mounted to a 1966 pan because the
original 57 pan was too far gone. What happened after the body and
pan were married has resulted in a very clean and well executed
extreme build.
Tucked neatly in the rear of this beetle is a CB Performance
Turbocharged, Fuel Injected 2387cc engine, the owner states that
its making 382hp on a modest tune! This engine was pulled and
refreshed to specifications in the summer of 2023. A quick visit to
CB Performance's website will provide you with the details on the
engine. A Rancho Racing Bus Transmission with the U-Joint
conversion and posi-traction was installed to handle the added
power. The transmission tunnel has been modified to fit the larger
bus transmission. A new wiring harness was installed as well as
disc brakes on all 4 corners.
The Ford Tangerine paint job accompanies the tan Simpson Racing
seats, tan leather tweed interior, reupholstered tan leather rear
seat, tan painted 6 point rollcage and tan engine shroud resulting
in a stunning presentation. This is an original rag top car and the
top has been reupholstered as well. New tires were installed in the
summer of 2023 making this car ready to hit the road or the
strip.
The opportunity to pick up a well planned and executed build on an
orignal rag top, oval window beetle doesn't present itself too
often. Don't sleep on the chance to own a stunning, one of a kind
beetle. Contact our sales staff today for all the details.
