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.

Long, sleek and majestic, the Pontiac Catalina was the iconic brand’s full-size offering for over thirty years. Introduced in 1950 as a trim line, then a stand-alone model in 1959, the Catalina would become one of Pontiac’s most popular models. If you’ve always wanted to be the proud owner of a Catalina, because let’s face it, who wouldn’t, we’ve got a 1962 Pontiac Catalina Restomod for your consideration.

The second-generation Chevrolet Corvette (C2) is where the legendary Corvette inherited its sharp lines and looks that are still used to this day. This new design over the first-generation Corvette did not only present itself with a spectacular view but also newfound handling prowess. The new lighter body meant this convertible found more acceleration than its predecessor, even though the power remained the same and the new suspension significantly improved handling. All the 1963 cars came out with 372 ci engines, making 250 horsepower as standard, with optional variants like this particular restored model we have for you today, which can produce a whopping 340 horsepower. All this excitement for the second-generation Corvette resulted in an increase of 50% in units built compared to the then-record-setting 1962 version. This made the C2 an automotive icon of the past and present. We’re told that this 1963 convertible American beauty, for sale in Rosamond, California, has only done less than 1000 miles on the odometer after restoration. The current owner also reports that the numbers are matching for the motor and transmission, however documentation cannot be provided.
