This 1959 Volkswagen Beetle has had no expense spared anywhere on
the build! It is a true work of rolling art! It is finished in
gorgeous black paint over a gray and blue wool and vinyl
interior.
The floor pans, rear apron, running boards, rear fenders, and glass
were replaced under current ownership, and the body was repainted
in black while the underbody was painted two-tone black and satin
blue. Details include a replacement sliding canvas sunroof, a
custom rearview mirror, stainless-steel window trim, Marchal
driving lights, polished headlight covers, custom circular vents on
the fenders, a central oval exhaust tip, fluted yellow
euro-headlights with H4 bulbs, and 1934 Ford-style fog light
brackets with LED lights on the rear fenders.
EMPI BRM 15? wheels with custom center caps are mounted with
staggered-width Continental ContiProContact tires. Disc brakes are
equipped at all four corners, and the system has been fitted with a
replacement master cylinder reservoir, steel lines, and
stainless-steel flex hoses. The suspension has been lowered with a
4? narrowed front beam and replacement gas shocks. A three-spoke
steering wheel fronts a replacement 90-mph speedometer, a
tachometer, and supplemental gauges under the dashboard.
The interior was repainted in satin blue and the seats were
reupholstered in gray and blue wool and vinyl. Details include
matching door panels, a Vintage Speed shifter, a locking glovebox,
billet aluminum knobs and window cranks, rubber floor mats with
custom metal floor coverings, a pair of Alsta rally timers, and
latch-and-link front lap belts.
The replacement 1,776cc flat-four is said to have been overhauled
and fitted with a 110 camshaft, a remote oil filter, PerTronix
electronic ignition, 7mm solid copper ignition wires, and billet
aluminum pulleys as well as Vintage Speed center pull linkage, 912
air filters, and oil catch. The engine breathes through twin 40mm
Weber carburetors and a Sebring four-into-one exhaust system with
an O2 sensor plug for tuning. Power is sent to the rear wheels
through a four-speed Freeway Flyer short transaxle that is said to
have been overhauled and painted satin blue with polished ribs. The
transmission was fitted with a replacement nose cone seal, solid
silicone axle boots, and neoprene mounts.
