Brick Red color adorns this 1960 Volkswagen Beetle with classic
German engineering. The iconic curves and rounded fenders remain
true to their unmistakable identity while the custom 2.5-inch drip
spindles create a lower center of gravity and road-hugging stance.
Chrome accents frame the body lines with authentic patina developed
over decades. The functional metal roof rack adds versatility to
this compact classic, while 15-inch wheels fitted with 155/60R15
front and 205/65R15 rear tires provide modern grip. The distinctive
pop-out rear windows offer additional ventilation options for
warm-weather drives.
Beige vinyl covers the interior surfaces with German efficiency and
straightforward design. The bucket seats offer firm support while
maintaining period-correct appearance, flanked by matching door
panels that complete the cabin's uniform look. A clean dash
contains easy-to-read gauges that monitor vital functions without
unnecessary complexity. The aftermarket floor shifter connects to
the 4-speed manual transmission. The wood steering wheel adds a
touch of warmth to the otherwise utilitarian space, while practical
additions like the under-dash storage rack and protective coco mats
enhance daily usability. Front and rear seatbelts offer modern
safety considerations.
Mechanical upgrades transform this Beetle. The Brazilian-made
AutoLinea engine block has been professionally stroked to 2276cc
capacity (completed in 2022), significantly increasing displacement
and power output. Dual EMPI 44HPMX 2-barrel carburetors manage fuel
delivery with improved efficiency and throttle response. Long tube
headers direct exhaust gases through a single aftermarket exhaust
system for an appropriate soundtrack. The 4-speed manual
transmission transfers power to the rear wheels through a
traditional VW drivetrain configuration, while front disc brakes
provide improved stopping capability for today's driving
conditions.
