1968 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE VOLKSROD RAT ROD *ATTENTION GRABBER*
Description
1968 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE RAT ROD "VOLKSROD" .
THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A RARE, NEVER SEEN IN THE MIAMI AREA, VW VOLKROD! (YES, I LIVE CLOSE TO MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA!)
THIS CAR WAS ALL BUILD ON PURPOSE AS A RAT ROD VOLKSWAGEN!
WE CAN START WITH THE ROOF. IT HAS BEEN CHOPPED AND REPLACE FOR A GOOD QUALITY FIXED CANVAS ONE (NOT CONVERTIBLE), WITH THE OVAL GLASS REAR WINDOW.
THE FRONT HEADLIGHT'S ARE BRASS FROM, WHAT I BELIEVE WAS A 1920s TRUCK LIGHTS RETROFITTED WITH CURRENT LIGHT BULBS, SAME AS THE ALUMINUM RETROFITTED LANTERNS TAIL LIGHTS.
THE CHASSIS HAS BEEN NARROWED AT THE FRONT AND THE FRONT AXLE MOVED FORWARD TO GIVE THAT SPORTY LOOK.
HE HAS FOUR WIRED "FORD A TYPE" RIMS FITTED WITH WHITEWALL TIRES (TIRES ARE KIND OF OLD, BUT THEY STILL HOLD AIR AND TAKE YOU AROUND!).
AIR SUSPENSION ALL AROUND MANUALLY OPERATED FROM INSIDE WITH AN ON-BOARD AIR PUMP (THE SHOCKS ARE ALREADY OFF THE CAR, REPLACED WITH OEM SPRING ONES FOR BETTER RIDE QUALITY, BUT THE SYSTEM IS THERE AND THE LINES AND PARTS TOO)
INSIDE WE CAN FIND A BEAUTIFUL SPORTY BAJA TYPE SEATS EQUIPPED WITH SEAT BELTS, CUSTOM BLACK CARPET AND BLACK DOOR PANELS. THE INTERIOR OF THIS CAR IS A NICE PLACE TO BE!
THE ENGINE IS THE ORIGINAL BOXER WITH NICE SPORTY VALVE COVERS AND AN AWESOME EXHAUST SYSTEM (SOUNDS REALLY GOOD BUT NOT LOUD!) AND A MANUAL STANDARD GEARBOX.
THIS CAR IS FULL OF DETAILS, LIKE THE CUSTOM MADE EMBLEMS OR THE TIKI HEAD USE AS A SHIFTER, THAT YOU HAVE TO SEE IN PERSON!
DEFINITELY AN ATTENTION GRABBER! TAKE THIS CAR TO ANY SUMMER CAR SHOW AND COMEBACK HOME WITH A TROPHY!
IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY TO BUILD A VOLKROD LIKE THIS ONE SO DO NOT MISS THIS UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A UNIQUE CAR AT A PORTION OF THE MARKET PRICE!
OPEN TITLE IN HAND READY TO BE TRANSFERRED (I HAVE NEVER TRANSFERRED THE CAR, SO THAT IS WHY IS STILL OPEN!)
