1963 Volkswagen Beetle

Description

This 1963 Volkswagen Beetle just seems to radiate cool California cruiser style. With its seriously clean presentation and the right additions, this is an instant head-turner. Plus, as you see the upgrades like the body-hugging seats and four-wheel disc brakes, you realize this cruiser was made to really be driven.

You know you love this one just by the care that has gone into the presentation. The slick blue paint has the right hint of pastel. So you have the pleasant Beetle tone and a high-gloss finish that showcases all the curves of the VW's wind-cheating design. The correct bumpers shine like mirrors, and the sweeping side trim highlights the VW's unique profile. But there's more going on here than just pure vintage fun. You can tell it has a bit more of a sporty/cruiser attitude. It's in subtle details like the lowered stance and clear turn light on the fenders. And the classic roof rack even has a nice contoured frame.

More of the sporty style continues inside You have upgrades like newer front bucket seats that have body-hugging contouring. And the Grant GT steering wheel gives you a solid grip. But we're also glad to see the right classic pieces like the iconic VDO gauges and separate fuel readout that came on earlier cars. Plus, this is also appealing for giving you good fundamentals. Clean glass, good weather-stripping, nice door panels, and newer carpeting give this a quality atmosphere.

The engine bay is a very clean marvel of simplicity - just what these Beetles should be. The very tidy horizontally-opposed four-cylinder engine has been upgraded from 1200cc to 1300cc. It fires up easily with a magical buzz that only an air-cooled motor can. These are far from the most powerful motors out there, but the four-speed gives you proper control, and you do get an extra kick going down the road thanks to the upgrade to a larger displacement. The rear-mounted motor gives the car good traction, and this driver-friendly nature has been furthered with an updated suspension, modern Continental tires, and a four-wheel disc brake upgrade.

This is the classic Beetle that has been given the right upgrades to be a stand-out all-around cruiser. So at a price like this, you know you don't want to let it slip away. Call today!!!
