Let me start by saying this is without a doubt the cleanest 74 Super Beetle that we have ever had here on Oldbug.com.
As you pour through the 80+ photos of this one you will see that is is really in a league of its own.
Not a lot of folks use the Super as the basis for a build these days, so it is a bit refreshing to see one done so nice.
There are a lot of very unique and very special modifications done that make it a true one of a kind.
At first glance it looks fairly normal...but very clean.
Nice bright color and matching wheels, she's a looker.
The real attraction to it for me is when you get in close and start seeing all the work that has gone into it
to make it something truly special.
Paint quality and attention to detail is top notch.
All of it like new and super clean
Out back is a fully detailed performance engine..2276cc with 48 Dellorto carbs
Lots of special little details that dont jump out at you right away like the chrome trim in the center of the rubber bumper strips
and the custom made filler strips to fill the gap with the "stand off " decklid.
The interior is where it really gets wild with very impressive woodwork all over.
The wood trimmed interior is really unique...but best of all the finish of it looks
fantastic...it is so well done.
All super clean...fresh trim, nice accessories such like the gravel guards and fingernail guards under the handles.
The running boards are heavy duty billet aluminum.
Disc brakes hid behind the color matched and super cleanly detailed Empi 8 spoke wheels.
Fog lights under the bumper...headlight eyebrows on the lights.
Extremely straight and smooth down the sides.
One heck of a smile!
The original spec pumper guards in place and again the chrome detail on the rubber bumper strip is pretty slick.
A matching trailer comes with the car that is customized and detailed to the extreme to match the car.
Here from this angle you can see the side shields on the engine lid as well as the hitch and trailer mounting.
What a great little rig. This car has been a very consistant show winner wherever it goes.
Spotless
Look at the underside of the trailer with it's hand made wood trimming to cover the tongue and frame.
Ceramic coated Bugpack exhaust system.
Deep oil sump on the engine.

This is not everyone's cup of tea...if you are a fan of original spec interiors...this car is not for you.
But if you want something truly unique...keep on looking at these photos!

Check out the slick "spares" kit with a set of spark plugs and goodies carefully cut into a special holder in a case
Interesting little gravel guard lip along the front apron.

Back out in the engine room look at the smooth polished alternator and stand and the colorful powder coating
on the engine tins. Check out the wood trimming continued into the engine room here along the sides !
Spotless keeps on coming up in my mind.
The car is a runner too...he has put a few thousand miles on the car already
and he sent me a video of it driving (sounds very healthy by the way)
it is fully functional.
Look at the finished wood firewall behind the engine!

Billet aluminum distributor cover and sending unit cover for the instruments.
