This bug has gone through a complete nut and bolt restoration with
many upgrades, including performance improvements. One of the
sharpest beetle convertibles I've seen!
EXTERIOR: Show quality fit and finish. The body is pristine, I
don't see any damage or bubbles. It's arrow straight and the black
paint is polished like a mirror, you could shave in its reflection.
It looks like every single piece of chrome and trim has been
replaced or restored, even the chrome frames around the windows.
The rubber on the running boards and all the weatherstrips have
been replaced. The turn signals were removed from on top of the
fenders and incorporated into the front bumper for a clean look.
The black Haartz stayfast cloth top is rich looking, the boot
matches and has red piping. The 17 inch Billet Specialties wheels
with performance tires really look hot!
INTERIOR: The interior was completely redone by Sewfine interiors.
The metal trim was painted smooth and glossy. The seats have new
cushions and are 2 tone upholstered. The door panels and visors are
done to match. The red carpet was expertly installed. The rear seat
folds down and the storage area is carpeted too. Above is a new
black headliner. The bits and pieces were replaced: dash pad, door
handles, window cranks, armrests and e-brake boot. It has a few
cool custom upgrades: steering wheel, pedals and a Bugpack
shifter.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Rebuilt high performance 2017cc motor by
renowned builder CPR (Custom Performance Racing) of Arcadia CA.
Dual Weber 2 barrel carbs with finned aluminum air cleaners,
electronic ignition with billet distributor Jet Coated headers,
upgraded generator and billet pulleys with a serpentine belt. The
engine shroud is painted red.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The front compartment looks brand new! All the
metal is painted smooth and glossy, the wiring and hardware was all
replaced. The cowl vent cover is new, the fuel tank is new, and
it's upgraded with gas struts to hold the lid open. A red carpet
mat was custom made.
UNDERSIDE: The front end steering and suspension was completely
replaced and upgraded with an Airkweld adjustable narrowed front
end package. The rear suspension was completely rebuilt. It is also
upgraded with an Airkweld 4 wheel performance slotted disc brake
system. Custom A1 Sidewinder exhaust system was Jet Coated. The
trans was upgraded with a Pro Street "Freeway Flyer" 4-speed trans.
Looking up at the motor it looks fresh. The pan was replaced,
painted satin black and has cadmium plated fasteners. The entire
underside is detailed!
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you
the best cars within reason.
You don't have to be a Beetle lover to really like this car, it is
hot looking! People will love it anywhere it goes, I promise. It
would cost $60,000 to duplicate, this one is ready now!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
