This 1968 Volkswagen Beetle has got a new coat of Burnt Orange. Actually, it features a fully restored original German pan, which, along with the body, has been plastered and primered in Nason and PPG epoxy primer. The running boards were recently replaced with Wolfsburg West boards and covered in OE-style rubber matting. Then, there’s front LED headlamps plus rear LED stoplamps. Meanwhile, the whole thing rolls on a set of Cosmic Wheels custom CNC cut-outs, with a matching spare tire and wheel too. The interior of this 1968 Volkswagen Beetle is a full tweed affair courtesy of Sewfine Interiors, with Sewfine Colorado bucket seats, VDO instruments, a Band O2 meter, a Retrosound Bluetooth radio, and a 10-inch Kicker subwoofer to augment the Alpine amplifier and speakers that await your musical miscellany. Furthermore, the cabin benefits from West Coast Metric and Wolfsburg West rubber seals, front and rear Coco mats, and rebuilt doors with matching seals.
This 1968 Volkswagen Beetle packs a 2,180cc flat-four engine that’s been professionally built by Brothers VW Machine in Ontario, Cal. Then, we’ve got 92mm thick wall AA sleeves with pistons, custom R.A.C.E machined valve covers and deep sump, Chromoly head studs and pushrods, Mahle main and rod bearings, and an A1 Performance sidewinder exhaust system. A manual transmission with Kennedy Stage 1 clutch and pressure plate is present, as is a Rancho pro-street transaxle with 3.73 super differential. Braking gets a shot in the arm too, thanks to Ghia front disc brakes, Porsche 5x130mm front rotors and rear drums.
