5158-TPA 1960 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE
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.
