A 1968 VOLKSWAGON CUSTOM BEETLE WITH STEEL SUNROOF. THIS 1968 BEETLE IS AN EXTREMELY FINE EXAMPLE OF CALIFORNIA CUSTOM BUG. THIS VOLKSWAGON WAS A FIRST PLACE WINNER AT THE 2006 ARIZONA COPPERSTATE VW SHOW.

BODY:

THIS BEETLES PAINT IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION REFINISHED IN THE STUNNING COLOR OF SIERRA BEIGE. ALL OF THE BODY PANELS ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR AND ARE RIPPLE, DENT, AND RUST FREE AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY SORT OF BODY OR ACCIDENT DAMAGE.

INTERIOR:

THE CUSTOM INTERIOR SEATS ARE REDONE IN A MAUVE TWEED, AS ARE THE DOOR PANELS. THE CARPET IS ALSO NEW AND IN EXCELLENT ORIGINAL CONDITION. ALL OF THE ACCESSORIES INCLUDING THE SPEEDO, GAS GAUGE, SIGNALS, HORN, DOOR LOCKS, AND WINDOWS WORK PERFECTLY.

THE TRUNK APPEARS AS NEW, WITH A NEW SPARE TIRE ON MATCHING ALLOY WHEEL.

UNDERCARRIAGE:

THE UNDERSIDE IS RUST-FREE AND VERY WELL PRESERVED.

ENGINE :

THE ENGINE RUNS STRONG AND HAS NEW 1776 CC MOTOR WITH TWIN CARBS BACKED BY A FOUR SPEED TRANSMISSION WITH A GENE BERG SHIFTER. THIS IS A VERY FAST AND RELIABLE CAR WITH A FIRM SHIFT THAT PUSHES YOU HARD INTO THE SEAT.

 TIRES AND WHEELS:

THE TIRES ARE 205/70/R15 ON THE REAR AND 145/R15/785 ON THE FRONTS WITH      POLISH OUTER EDGE ALLOY WHEELS

OVERALL DRIVING IMPRESSIONS:

THIS VW DRIVES AS NEW AND IS BARELY BROKEN IN! THE 1776 CC POWERPLANT RUNS AND ACCELERATES SMOOTHLY AND VERY QUICKLY AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS AS IT SHOULD. THE CAR DRIVES AROUND TOWN AND ON THE OPEN ROAD WITH NO SQUEAKS, CREAKS, OR RATTLES. AND NEEDS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DRIVE, SHOW, AND ENJOY. ALL OF THE MECHANICAL ASPECTS OF THE CAR WORK AS THEY SHOULD.
