1963 Ragtop Beetle Sedan
"Nascar Herbie" Replica
Its a great looking car with a good eye for authenticity, pretty much nails
the look down pat.
Talk about fun...
Its an agressive looking car with the wide wheels, big wing and all the
race car graphics.
This car has had some performance mods done to it as well, so it really
gets up and goes.
I dont think you'll be able to draft Jeff Gordon with it, but it's still
pretty quick.
The rear wing is a good bit of work.
The wing panel itself is made of an ABS material, with the wind splitters
being machined out of aluminum.
Under the rear wing are hand crafted aluminum supports with stainless steel
ajustable support hardware
with quick release attachment points. Its a slick set up, the wing angle
is adjustable and it all looks serious.
Here's another angle of the rear wing.
The interior is raced out as well. The film car just had a single seat
and a rollcage, so it wouldnt be much fun for
hauling the family around, where this car has been set up for show as well
as being a useable car.
The front seats are nice firm racing buckets with adjustable backrests,
so you have simple acess to the back seat.
VDO instrumentation has been put in place but is not wired up, currently
just for looks.
The wiring harness in the car is brand new and everything is functioning
properly other than these aftermarket guages.
Very cool and clean racing size steering wheel.
Radio block off plate in the dash.
Empi trigger shifter, just like in the film version..
New carpets.
Slick aluminum door panels and custom handles.
Here's another shot of the seats.
Rear seat is stock vinyl material.
Aluminum panels in the back seat area too.
Carpet is all brand new, headliner is smooth grade grey vinyl.
New window rubber all around.
Factory slide back sunroof.
Fittment of the headliner isnt fantastic, but it still looks ok.
It's clean and no big holes or damage.
Visors are sprayed in grey to match the headliner.
Let in the sun!
Brand new sunroof cover from TMI.
Freshly built 1776 cc powerplant with brand new dual carbs, exhaust, etc...all
fresh.
We had this engine tuned and dialed in by legendary VW drag racer Clyde
Berg after it was built.
He's made it run just great!
The wiring in the car is all brand new and was professionally done.
The car is a blast to drive...it is pretty darn quick and with the fat
tires it handles pretty well too.
One piece side windows, all new.
Accurate recreation of all the graphics.
Goodyear Eagle Nascar tires are brand new all the way around.
Wide racing wheels look dark and serious, brake drums sprayed silver.
Front axle beam is freshly rebuilt and features adjustable ride height
and all new brake parts.
These rear tires are super wide...really cool look.
The front and rear fenders are far wider than stock, and this wheel and
tire selection fills the width perfectly.
Headlights have the eyebrows.
Under the front hood is clean and basic.
Sprayed black and the tank in grey.
Its a very cool looking machine that will undoubtably bring many smiles
wherever you go.
We are still finishing a few small details on the car right now but it
should be ready to go very soon.
So look past the few small missing bits (like the body trim) as it will
be on the car before it ships.
What a fun ride, and at a very reasonable price.
There is a lot of extra stuff on this car, many handcrafted items and it
would be a very hard car to replicate
for this kind of money.
SOLD!!
