Finished in vibrant teal with racing-inspired red accents, this
1966 Volkswagen Beetle underwent a complete transformation by a
skilled paint artisan. The body received full disassembly, metal
stripping, epoxy primer, and premium PPG base/clear coat
application for a superior finish. The red roof rack and
coordinated side stripes give this Bug a rally-inspired appearance
that's uniquely its own. Sitting deliberately low on 15" EMPI
Sprintstar wheels with polished edges, the 175/65R15 front and
205/65R15 rear tires plant this German classic firmly on the
asphalt with a purposeful stance.
The maroon vinyl interior creates an inviting space that perfectly
balances vintage appeal with select modern touches. The bucket
seats offer ideal support for cruising, while custom additions like
the wicker under-dash shelf and repurposed cup holder demonstrate
thoughtful personalization. An EMPI shifter provides precise gear
selection, complemented by the period-correct RetroSound AM/FM/AUX
stereo. Additional speakers and a hidden amp under the rear seat
elevate the audio experience without compromising the classic
aesthetic, while fresh carpet rounds out the cabin's comprehensive
update.
A newly constructed 1600 CC engine from Freeman Automotive (April
2024) powers this German icon with less than 2,500 miles on the
build. Representing a substantial $5,800 investment, the powerplant
features modern electronic ignition for improved starting and
operation. The classic 4-speed manual transmission and original VW
transaxle provide authentic driving dynamics while front disc
brakes with 2.5" drop spindles deliver superior stopping
capability. New shocks at all corners and fresh steering components
ensure precise handling for confident motoring.
