1966 Volkswagen Beetle Ragtop

Description

This 1966 Volkswagen Beetle Ragtop is the kind of classic you'll find impressive from every angle. The extra sleek paint shows off the upgraded style. The engine bay and undercarriage have the clean look of quality investments. And the large ragtop sunroof lets in even more light to showcase the custom interior. But what's most impressive of all is that this full package is offered for such a nice price.

The paint you can't take your eyes off is called Black Cherry Wine. That seems quite appropriate because the finish looks like someone poured a sticky-sweet elixir over the Beetle's famous curves. They also made sure that the body lines look excellent so that the light rolls evenly across the full package. Bright chrome bumpers, clear glass, good weather-stripping, and clean rubber running boards show they took time to get the details right. And the windshield sun visor and louvered engine cover give this added individual distinction. Even the wheels show off the extra thoughtfulness of the car. They have the classic EMPI GT-5 look, but the center caps have the Wolfsburg crest and are color-matched to the car.

The tan tweed interior seems like the exact right material when you want to set the atmosphere for a classic European driver's car. It looks terrific on the seats, doors, and side panels. Even the loop carpet coordinates nicely. This continues the car's theme of thoughtful details with high-traffic areas done in black, like the door armrests and added floor mats. You'll love the classic details, like the Wolfsburg crest steering wheel and VDO speedometer with an early-style separate fuel gauge. These are joined by upgraded driving pieces like the pedals and shifter. Plus, we bet you noticed the screen incorporated in the dash. This classic VW now has a modern infotainment system that runs the AM/FM/CD/XM stereo, USB input/charger, Bluetooth, and backup camera. It makes for far better driving music, and you just know it's fun to slide back the full roof ragtop and spend all Sunday out on your favorite roads.

The engine bay has a terrific appearance where you know they took extra time to get it looking this tidy. It's far more than just fresh belts and wires. There was a commitment here to make this motor look precision-made so that you're reminded of the hardy nature of a VW. This 1600cc unit is larger than what you got in 1969, and it has a dual-barrel carb on top. It makes for some added pep to this Beetle. But of course, the best way to get the most out of this powerhouse is by taking control and smartly shifting the four-speed manual transmission. And when you get this one out on the road, the clean components of the undercarriage also mean an investment in keeping this a confident driver. Nimble handling, modern sport tires, and front disc brakes are all part of what makes it such a fun driver.

This is an impressive total package of an iconic classic Volkswagen. So if you've been looking for the ideal ragtop Beetle, you know you can't let this well-priced custom slip away. Call today!!!
