For Sale: 1966 Volkswagen Beetle in Lithia Springs, Georgia

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.
