Although originally conceived as a no-frills car to provide transport to the masses, the charm of the humble Volkswagen Beetle has led to one of the most diverse and inclusive fan bases in the world. With over 21 million Volkswagen Beetles produced, the Beetle seemingly appeals to all ages and tastes and provides a platform for both collectors and customizers to indulge in. When it comes to Beetles, we’ve listed everything at Exotic Car Trader: from concourse-level restorations, low mileage survivors, and some of the wildest creations. And we think you’ll agree; our featured 1959 Volkswagen Beetle most certainly falls into the latter category. This impressive Beetle build was completed in 2007 and embraces the custom hot-rod trend, with extensive modifications made to the body. However, it still manages to preserve the Beetle connection, leaving onlookers with little doubt over what lies in front of them. If you’re in the market for a truly unique creation, then this customized 1959 Volkswagen Beetle may just be the car for you.
Just about every part of this 1959 Volkswagen Beetle appears to have been customized in some way or another. The body features a chopped roof for open-air motoring, with a custom-chopped windshield and windshield frame that further lowers the exterior height. You’ll also find that the doors have been sealed, providing extra rigidity to the body. The owner reports that the car was painted in 2007, and the hood features a custom flame graphic. You'll also notice that the VW badge on the front has been swapped out for a skull and crossbones. The front and rear fenders have been removed to reveal the suspension setup in all its glory. Meanwhile, this Bug’s headlights have also been relocated to accommodate the lack of fenders. A red rear luggage rack is installed on the engine cover, while the Beetle rests on red-painted wire-spoke wheels with chrome center caps. The wheels are wrapped in Firestone rubber, which offers a period-looking tread pattern. Moving inside, you won’t find an air conditioning unit, but you will find a red interior with a custom dashboard. The seats feature lap belts and there's a radio with Bluetooth and USB compatibility.
Mounted at the rear is a flat-four air-cooled engine — but, not just any engine. The owner reports that this 1600c unit was sourced from another VW, likely a later-model Beetle. The engine is mounted to a four-speed manual Freeway Flier racing transmission powering the rear wheels. This custom Beetle features drum brakes but includes the modern addition of power steering for effortless maneuverability at all speeds.
