Custom Volkswagen Beetle

The car rides on a four-wheel adjustable air suspension with a narrowed front axle beam and dropped spindles. Power comes from an air-cooled 2,276cc flat-four that is equipped with dual Weber 44 IDF carburetors and is mated to a four-speed manual transaxle that has been modified with a â??Freeway Flyerâ? gearset. Additional details include an A-1 Sidewinder exhaust system, electronic ignition, an extended capacity oil sump, and an MST billet serpentine belt system as well as 15â?³ five-spoke alloy wheels, four-wheel disc brakes, a 12-volt electrical system, a Dehne fuel level gauge, a Gene Berg shifter, and a retro-style Bluetooth stereo. The oval-window body has been refinished in metallic yellow and features shaved beltline trim, 12-volt semaphore indicators, and European-specification headlight lenses. Additional details include ice pick-style door handles, chrome jackhole covers, Hella â??snowflakeâ? taillight lenses, rear accent lights, and chrome bumpers with overriders. The front apron is damaged and no windshield wipers are fitted. Dark chrome-finished 15â?³ five-spoke wheels wear Porsche-crest center caps, feature flush-mounted valve stems, and are wrapped with 145-series Michelin XZX tires up front and 195/65 Michelin Defender XT tires out back. The floorpan was reportedly powder-coated black, and the car rides on a four-wheel adjustable air suspension with a narrowed front axle beam and dropped spindles. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes, and work in January 2024 consisted of replacing the front brake hoses and bleeding the system. The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench that have been re-shaped with replacement foam and trimmed in tan vinyl with tweed inserts.
