Description for Volkswagen Beetle - Classic 1974
1974 custom bugPrice: $3500 firm For Sale one BAD ASS 1974 Super Beetle. Call or email me for AMAZING BUILD!The car has a rebuilt 1776 long block built by GEX engines. Dual Kadron Carbs. numerous new engine parts including valve covers, uel pump, uel lines, xhaust. New distributor, ew coil and wires. New starter with new battery. The engine has been run numerous times but only has about 100 miles on it.
Car has a rebuilt transmission from Rancho Transmissions with 100 miles. It is the freeway flyer model which runs at a lower RPM at higher speeds. New clutch and flywheel.
BODY- car has 2 inch wider fiberglass front fenders and 3 inch wider fiberglass rear fenders. Added the older style headlights and 39 Ford led tail lights. I also added the blinkers on top of the fenders and the parking lights are inside with the headlights. Matching fiberglass running boards are smooth amd really add to the custom look. Removed the front and rear bumpers and added a smooth steel front and rear apron. The engine lid has a license plate recess welded in. Also welded all of the trim holes on the sides of the car for a smoother look, eaving the hood trim on the car. Welded closed the stock mirror that stuck out of the door and added mirrors to the door hinges like older models. The stock fuel door has been removed and a trick motorcycle filler was added. The cap is aluminum, t pops up and allows you to turn it to fill up.
The only rust on the body iwas the passenger rear floor board and the front of the driver's side floor board. It also had rust below the driver's side air vent in the rear. Replaced both floor boards with full length reproductions.
Repaired the air vent rust and removed the inner foam material to prevent it from returning. it was sprayed with rust inhibitor paint.
The car was painted Plum Crazy Purple with a satin clear. The car just glows in the sun. It is a beautiful shade to go on this car. Since the paint is satin, ll of the chrome didn't look right being shiny. So the chrome trim, oor handles, irrors, nd handles were bought new and then made to look brushed.
INTERIOR- The original dash was cracked and old and was replaced with a fiberglass dash and center consle from Glass Action. A new speedo, ach, uel, il press, il temp, ylinder head temp, nd volt were also added. Car has brand new oatmeal colored carpet in the interior and trunk and new tan headliner. I also added new front seats from Procar. The seats are the Pro 90 front seats in tan. I also added the rear seat cover, oor panels, nd arm rests. These seats look amazing in the car and are really comfortable compared to the original worn out seats. Also got a new steering wheel which is almost an exact match in color to the seats. The interior is finished with new seat belts, d player, linker arm and switch, ight switch, nd hazard switch. Also added a new engine wiring harness and replaced some of the original wiring as it needed it.
Can go on and on with the new parts that have been bought. Added pop out rear windows with new gaskets, ew trunk rubber, ew engine rubber, oor rubbers, ne piece side windows, ew e-brake handle and much more.
Front has new front end "lowered" kit and "super low" kit from Topline parts. They are lowered struts and springs. Added front disk brakes, ew master cylinder, ew drums and shoes in rear, ew brake cylinders, ront braided brake lines, way bar. Car looks great lowered. Rear has been lowered to match.
Car has new wheels and tires with no miles. Wheels are widened "smoothie wheels." Fronts 6 1/2 by 15 and rears are 8 by 15. They fill up the widened fenders and give it a nasty look. The tires are low profile but not so low that you worry about a bad ride. They are painted black with chrome hubcaps.
That is most of the good stuff. if heat is desired, t needs ducting from base of heating ducts near front of car to the vents that are mounted in the dash.

Above are the former owners words. It is a very special car that is DRIVEABLE for the street but needs a new altenator & a little refinement. I had planned to finish and sell it for about 10k but I am moving out of state and just can't take my boat or Vw! My loss your gain! Call me about this ca, a really great look!On Jul-19-15 at 20:14:01 PDT, eller added the following information:
