This custom 1964 Volkswagen Beetle is newly restored and is powered
by a rebuilt 1600cc air-cooled flat 4-cylinder engine backed by a
new Freeway Flyer 4-speed manual transmission. The entire Bug was
disassembled down to the body, the underside of the body was
sprayed with soundproof material and sound-deadening material was
installed throughout the interior. The complete drivetrain,
suspension, brake system and steering have been replaced, and there
are all-new CV axles and bearings. The original VW steering box was
restored, and new king and link pins were installed on the 2-inch
drop spindles, all attached to a fully restored VW front beam with
height adjusters. All wiring has been replaced, and all necessary
grommets were used on all provisions. The headliner and front and
rear seats were freshened up, and all-new carpeting was installed.
Additional updates include Wolfsburg West rubber floor and trunk
liners. The sunroof is fully functional, along with the dash and
interior lighting. Most of the old VW hardware was replaced using
new Nylok fasteners. The transmission shift linkage was restored
with all new bushings and parts. The VW pedal assembly was
completely refurbished. Gold accents were applied during
restoration to celebrate the one-year 1964 VW Beetle model, which
came with a hard sunroof for the first time and was the last year
for short windows. The exterior was painted blue with chrome around
15 years ago, and gold accents were added during the 2021
restoration. 153 miles since the build completion.
