Sweet ride! Nice mods!

"trunk" lid is open?

 

I'm not going to lie...that's HOT.

 

Nice!

 

Is that a Super Beetle 1800?

Well no, dummy. It can't be if it's a '64 ... Sweet car though!

 

fap fap fap...super nice beetle bro

 

very nice!

 

omg that thing is so fucking sick I love those. Great job if you guys built that, I wish I had the skills to do that

 

That's awesome.

 

You really don't need to specify "non-acura" on these boards anymore. Most of us don't own Acura's anymore.

In regards to the bug, My favorite color too.

 

excellent, excellent, excellent!!!

 

Nice, what sort of engine did you build?

 

X2, no doubt! Drop the specs on us. Most people think Beetles are inherently slow but us old guys know different; a built 2-liter in a car that weighs 1,700lbs. was something to be feared back in the day.

 

sweet, I've always had a thing for older VWs, just don't know that much about them. another vote for spilling the beans on the specs!

 

That's a classic. Glad that you restored that beauty.

 

Thanks guys! We got it already painted and bone stock 2 years ago.

Decklid is open just to let allow more air flow, for both the carbs and for cooling.

Motor is a 2109cc with dual Weber carbs, guesstimating around 150-160 hp or so. Hopefully going to get it dyno'ed here in the next few months.

 

Nice. My first car was a 65 that we pretty much restored. Wish I hadn't been so insistent that I get rid of it. I'm planning on restoring another for my daughters' first car.

 

great ride and nice work :ibgreenie:

 

Is that White Diamond Pearl? Not really feeling the luggage rack, but the rest is sweet!

 

awesome...

 

Beautiful!!!!

A fantastic VW. You clearly spent a lot of time on it...and it shows

 

It was moved to Car Talk from a model specific section of the site. Probably why he put that in the title.

As for the car.... very hot

 

Looks good!

Very nice looking VW! These cars have gotten rarer and rarer, it's great to still see someone with a nice model out there! By the way, the AA at the front of the license plate is for a district very near to where I lived when I was in Germany, though where I lived it was BB. (Boblingen)

 

Not at all what I was expecting - very nice!

 

Looks great

 

Wow, that thing is clean!

 

lol, awesome

 

Love the luggage rack, very clean build you have there. What are your plans for it? Cali-style maybe? I know someone who used to have the worlds fastest street-legal beetle. My father has owned over 13 different VW's mostly beetles, but he did have a Karmann Ghia for awhile too. Here's his friend Kurts car in VW trends magazine if your interested it runs 10 second 1/4's so yes they CAN be fast: http://www.vwtrendsweb.com/features/...top/index.html

 

SWEEEEEET!!! man i remember when my dad had one of these when i was a little kid... The engine is in the back!! that was the coolest part to me... good times!

That's messed up, those engines was never that clean.

 

Nice Bug man. I had a buddy of mine who was into bugs when I was a teenager. We used to work on that car on weekends all the time.
So easy to work on and pull the motor in like a few minute.
He had dual Webers on his at one time and he would run it with a stinger on it and man it was loud & quick.

 

Looks great! Now that you have this, can I get that M3?

 

Sick car & sick pictures

 

 

Very nice! Good job keeping it tasteful!

 

That thing is sweet!

 

Now THAT'S clean!....inside and out.
