4106-PHX 1966 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE
Sporting a rugged patina finish, this 1966 Volkswagen Beetle embodies authentic classic car culture with its carefully cultivated weathered green exterior. Lowered onto the asphalt with custom narrowed beam and drop spindles, it exudes a cool, retro vibe that's impossible to ignore. The chrome bumpers add a gleaming contrast to the vintage patina, while the 15" chrome 5-spoke wheels with Porsche center caps nail the modified VW aesthetic. Up top, .....
the removable roof rack adds practicality and style. This Beetle rolls on BFG Radial TA tires (195/60R15 front, 205/60R15 rear) that fill the wheel wells perfectly, completing its ground-hugging stance.
The Terracotta interior presents a warm, inviting atmosphere with quality TMI vinyl bucket seats front and rear. Two-tone door cards harmonize perfectly with the seating surfaces, while an EMPI GT wood steering wheel adds a performance touch. This Beetle offers modern audio capabilities with a retro-style AM/FM/AUX stereo system complete with speakers integrated into the kick panels and rear package tray. The EMPI headliner maintains the clean appearance overhead, and the Gilmore Enterprises air conditioning system keeps things comfortable during hot weather cruising. Orange carpet below ties the entire cabin together in a cohesive package.
The 1968cc Mexico-spec Beetle engine, professionally built by Doug's Buggs in late 2021, delivers spirited performance with EMPI dual port heads and dual single-barrel carburetors. A freeway flyer 4-speed manual transmission with 3.88 gearing offers excellent highway capability and acceleration. The braking system consists of disc brakes at all four corners for reliable stopping power. The suspension features a custom narrowed front beam with adjustable rear spring plates, giving this VW its perfect stance. A newer dual exhaust system with shorty manifolds and aftermarket mufflers produces that classic VW sound.
