This 1968 Volkswagen Beetle, fresh from a top-to-bottom
restoration, sports a gleaming blue paint job that brings out its
iconic curves. The vibrant exterior is complemented by chrome
Volkswagen hubcaps, adding a touch of classic flair. Rolling on
165/80R15 radial tires, this Bug combines vintage style with modern
road grip. The body, meticulously restored between 2016 and 2018,
showcases the timeless design that made the Beetle a cultural icon.
From its rounded fenders to its distinctive sloping rear, every
line of this VW speaks to its enduring appeal.
Inside, black vinyl bucket seats offer a stark contrast to the blue
exterior. The cabin has been completely overhauled, featuring new
carpeting and floor mats that give off that fresh-car smell. The
dashboard houses a new instrument cluster, providing clear readouts
of vital information. Even the headliner has been replaced,
completing the interior's rejuvenation. An AM radio stands ready to
provide the soundtrack for your cruises, while the floor-mounted
shifter puts precise control at your fingertips.
Powering this Beetle is a rebuilt 1600cc air-cooled engine, paired
with a four-speed manual transmission. This powerplant, known for
its reliability, cranks up easily and produces that distinctive
air-cooled purr. The engine rebuild ensures smooth operation and
improved performance. Underneath, the suspension system features
torsion bars with shocks in the front and an IRS torsion setup with
shocks in the rear, providing a balance of comfort and handling.
Stopping power comes from drum brakes at all four corners, staying
true to the original design.
