Red Coral 1959 VW Beetle Ragtop. Restoration completed on an absolutely rust free (Texas) car that now has ~6,000 miles on it since completion. I purchased the car a year ago just as you see it and have driven it only sparingly.
A freshly rebuilt, strong running, dual carb, 85 HP engine was installed, as well as a new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, axle boots, and KYB rear shocks. The repainted pan and heater channels are absolutely rust free. Front end was rebuilt with new tie rods ends & bushings.
The electrical system was upgraded to 12 Volts and the wiring harness was replaced. The body was repainted in VW Red Coral and is stunning.
Complete new brake system all around - brake lines, wheel cylinders, shoes, etc. Tires and wheels are new.
The ragtop is also new as is the interior – new white vinyl seat upholstery, new carpet, new door panels, new headliner, newly painted dash trim, and seat belts, new running board vinyl covers and new chrome trim (installed after pictures taken) – all look fantastic.
Everything on the car works as it should – wipers, lights, wiring, latches, etc.
Upgraded 200 Watt Custom Autosound am/fm stereo with auxiliary input connection and 2 new Sony speakers behind the rear seat.Also included are period correct rear fender skirts.
The car speaks for itself…see the pictures. It can be driven every day but can also be taken to car shows.
