While it's more 'Jailhouse Rock' than 'Heartbreak Hotel,' this 1959 Volkswagen Beetle with a newer gray paint job definitely has character. The front fenders with the yellow-tinted headlights and a singular yellow fog lamp, setting it apart in a crowd. Adding to its retro look are the steel wheels with white trim rings, mimicking classic whitewalls. And let's talk about the cool addition - a roof rack with two small surfboards, perfect for those beachside drives. The Beetle's stance is lowered, giving it a sleeker look, and it features pop-out rear windows for that extra bit of air.
Inside this ride, the black vinyl seats have been lovingly redone, complementing the new condition of the headliner. The interior paint mirrors the exterior's spirit, adding to the Beetle's charisma. With a factory steering wheel, stock gauges, and an addition of three under-dash gauges for temperature and oil pressure, the carpet and door panels remain in good condition.
Under the rear decklid, the 1641 c.c engine, a substantial upgrade from the original, sits pristinely. The engine and drivetrain have been meticulously maintained, with detailed receipts to prove it. This Beetle breathes through a Solex carburetor and channels its spirit through a 4-speed manual transmission. Equipped with front disc brakes, fresh front struts, and a recently installed clutch and oil cooler. The dual exhaust peeks out the back, with that one-of-a-kind VW purr.
