1964 Volkswagen Beetle

1964 Volkswagen Beetle. This car came off the line with a 1200cc 40 horsepower engine when it was new in 1964. Now it's got a 200+ horsepower Scat Racing 2180cc with 044 dual-port heads, 110 cam, straight-cut gears, electronic ignition (no more points & condensors) and dual Solex 40mm 2-barrel carburetors! The car has air shocks with a compressor & air-tank mounted under the hood (trunk?) up front, EMPI wheels, newer interior, engine tinned in chrome everywhere and much more. It is PUNCHY! Quickest VW I've ever driven for sure! Even with the weight of the engine over the drive-wheels for traction, it still rips the tires loose all through 1st gear and into 2nd! Launches HARD, being so lightweight. It's got a freeway-flyer transmission, so it's geared for cruising speeds.unknown how fast it goes, but probably over 100. 70mph is a breeze on the interstate.  would call it periwinkle blue. There are a couple areas where the paint has let go, and the whole car is a little faded (patina anyone?),  it could be touched up and buffed back out to close to its original luster. Even so, the car looks way-cool just like it sits. It's very much rust-free and super solid. It's got tinted windows all the way around (except the windshield), a nice stereo, but no speakers. Grant GT racing steering-wheel, adjustable ride-height front axle, Empi shifter with new bushings in the linkages, engine recently built, newer clutch, cool, bright HID headlights, turn signal holes in tops of fenders welded shut, and moved to inside the headlight housings (to look like a 1940s or '50s bodystyle). It's got a big tach with a red-light that illuminates once you hit red-line, which is probably the most important gauge, as the speedometer needle jumps around, and the lights in the instrument panel flicker sometimes. It has front seat-belts. Newer battery, decent tires. Brakes need bleeding as there's air in the lines, and you gotta pump the pedal once or twice each time you use them.Doors: 2
