1971 VW Beetle Ratrod

1971 Volkswagen Beetle - Classic Ratrod Description

Selling my ratrod to finish other projects. Everything on this car is completely new or rebuilt. I just rebuilt the motor and put bigger 87 mm pistons and jugs in place of the 85.5's and brand new dual port cylinder heads. It already has a new carburetor and electronic ignition, wires, plugs, coil, etc. New brakes, hard brake lines, rubber brake hoses, CV joints, complete service on transaxle, new wheel bearings, seals, ball joints, tie rod ends. I chopped the top down 4" and extended the front end 10". Most of the rear end is cut off. It has 2 1/2" drop spindles on the front and the back has been dropped 10 degrees. The steering box is new and I moved it to the center of the front end so I wouldn't have to cut a hole in the hood. The hood has been lengthened 4" to make it go lower in front. I built a hood visor for the front. It has complete new floor pans (front to back) on both sides. The interior has been dynamatted and I built a complete custom interior. The tires are new. This whole build can be seen from start to finish on "YouTube" under 1971 Volksrod, part1, part 2, part 3, and 1971 Volksrod finale. I also have many single pictures thru the build if needed.
