the FAMOUS. . .
The Original "SoCal Volksrod"
Professionally built by College of Art and Design professor and hot rodder, Malcom Smith of California. This car was one of the pioneer examples of the "Vrod" movement from southern California. A low mileage, pampered Hot Rod classic, always in private collections. Featured in numerous car magazines! ( see photo)
I am reluctantly offering this favorite VW as I must clear space in my garage....something must go!

Always properly serviced and maintained ( owner prior to me was a large VW dealer / collector.) Engine is very powerful for this light oval window bug and is beautifully detailed. Dual Chrome Delortos.
Car has never had an odometer gauge. I suspect the front wheels could be rebalanced again after I mounted NEW TIRES last November. ( I only drive the car to local cruise ins and shows.)
