GarageScout Take

The rebuilt 1971-block 1600 and 1969-sourced tunnel give this early Beetle a later-component mechanical foundation, while the black-and-red treatment and lowered stance carry that same custom direction. Mileage sits above the middle for this generation.

Strengths

  • Freshly rebuilt 1600cc single-port engine with a 1971 block.
  • New floor sections and a 1969-sourced tunnel are noted as part of the restoration.
  • Custom black finish, red pinstriping, vintage roof rack, and whitewall tires.
  • Lowered suspension paired with an aftermarket exhaust.

Watch For

  • The engine uses a 1971 block rather than the original 1963 engine.
  • The tunnel was sourced from a 1969 Beetle, so the floorpan structure is not original to the car.
  • Lowered suspension and an aftermarket exhaust have been fitted.
