Vehicle Description
This 1976 Volkswagen Beetle sports a unique blend of classic and
custom elements, starting with its eye-catching silver metallic
paint. Early pre-66 fenders and chrome bumpers give it a
distinctive retro look, while 15-inch Empi style 8-spoke wheels
wrapped in 165/80R15 tires provide a modern stance. The fiberglass
hood and 1968 decklid further accentuate its custom flair, creating
a Beetle that stands out from the crowd.
Inside, the gray and burgundy vinyl interior offers a fresh take on
the classic Beetle cabin. Custom touches abound, from the new
seating and headliner to the door panels and carpet kit. A
wood-grain steering wheel adds a dash of vintage charm,
complementing the clean, uncluttered dashboard. The absence of a
radio keeps the focus on the pure driving experience, true to the
Beetle's simplistic nature.
Powering this Bug is a strong-running 1500cc air-cooled
four-cylinder engine, paired with a four-speed manual transmission.
The H5 block features mild cams and single-port heads, delivering
peppy performance for city cruising or highway driving. A small
serpentine belt system and dual exhaust add both style and
substance to the engine bay. The drivetrain sits in a well-sorted
chassis, featuring torsion bar front suspension and IRS rear,
providing that characteristic Beetle ride and handling.
