An old restored beetle.. seen in CP.
Was running atleast 17"ers.. looked really neat.

khanak · 21st July 2006, 22:52

sexy vehicle man!!!
i'd love to have a ride on tat!

Fuelled · 21st July 2006, 23:08

Man the pics do no justice to it.
It was looking breathtaking in the flesh.

Surely the owner must be madly in love with it. ;-)

Those are probably 16s. Looking smooth.

Ive seen a couple of young guys driving this around in GK, had a good sound note too, good effort, it looks pretty funky, im sure its a chic magnet!!

DaPilot · 21st July 2006, 23:30

It is indeed nicely done, leather seats, new wheels, clean paint job, shiny crome... Sweeet! Although the owner could get a nice front grill.. I think it would further enhance the appearence

Did the beetle always come with Bucket seats? I saw a 1965 beetle the other day and that also had bucket seats.

hehe yeah...shes post 68, and not deviated too much...most trim shaved off though...from what little i can see, thats an original vw shade called coral red...friend o mine has a similar 1600cc superbeetle in the same colour, but mostly stock...used EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! (its his only vehicle)

islero · 23rd July 2006, 12:28

Wow, that is one hot looking Beetle there, surely will turn more heads than its stupid modern Golf based succesor.

Rudra Sen · 23rd July 2006, 13:31

Karl, you're the Beetle man here. Tell me, have they increased the height? May be may be not, but to me it looks like that.

karlosdeville · 23rd July 2006, 15:54

hmm...yeah does look like the settings have been fiddled with...personally i dont care for the look...its a bit too confused...but to each his own!

the earliest (1938 to 48ish i think) beetles came with 16inch wheels as standard....they then had 15 inchers till 66...these were shared with most porsche 356s...

i sniff a beetle thread in the offing...where do i post it man?! certainly they dont beling in supercars... we need a space for vintage and classic...and not the one in off topic...are u listening mods?

cheers
