Ever since the first Bug rolled out in 1971 the people have found creative ways to turn this innocent-looking economy car into various things that portrayed their own character, and personal desires. While many Beetle purists will tell you that this car is its best when stock, a handful of performance enthusiasts have chosen a different route. That’s a route you and I know as hot rodding. Any doubt about what that is should be cleared out at the site of this example. Volksrods have been a thing for as long as the Beetle has, and any Volkswagen hotrod fan would be delighted to know that this 1970 Volkswagen Volksrod Custom, which is currently up for sale, is the epitome of what it should be. Read on to see why it deserves a place in your garage, as well as your heart.
As it’s evidently clear, this Beetle has been converted entirely to be one with hot rod culture. A few of the highlights include the no top convertible look, new axles that push the wheels completely out of the body, skinny tires with mags and fenders upfront, with meaty tires at the back complemented by disk brakes on all fours, and a 4inch drop upfront, the ideal setup for the drag strip. The car also has four-wheel disc brakes, relocated headlights, and satin black exterior paint with green flames running along the body. The interior of the 1970 Volkswagen Volksrod Custom is reported to be upholstered, and the predominantly black cabin has new carpets as well as new green seat covers that mimic the black and green exterior, other than that, the interior seems mostly untouched from a standard Beetle, which is no bad thing really. It even sports the period-correct AM/FM radio integrated into the dash, although we’re unsure as to its functional status.
As for the power, this 1970 Volkswagen Volksrod Custom relies on its original 1.6L engine and original standard manual transmission, although it is reported that the car has new fluids in the transmission, to help its running condition.

The Volkswagen Beetle is such an icon of car culture that it's hard to see how a follow-up could be done. However, that's just what Volkswagen did in 1997 with the aptly-named New Beetle. While the New Beetle would be somewhat constrained by modern safety and emissions regulations, it still emerged as a fond tribute to the original. Thanks to its cutesy nature, the New Beetle would see some adaptations, such as witnessed by this 1998 Volkswagen Beetle Pikabug. Said to be #9 from the PokePatrol fleet, this one-of-a-kind Beetle sports a healthy 176,000 miles, showing that it enjoys long runs.

Italy has a rich and vibrant history of producing sports cars of all shapes and sizes. While you may more commonly think of a roaring Ferrari V12 or a Lamborghini V10, the country also gave birth to some truly amazing, affordable sports cars. Take the Fiat X1/9, for example. Despite featuring a relatively small 1,290cc engine, the little Fiat is a true sportscar focused on offering the best driver experience. It’s a strict two-seater with a mid-engine layout and a design that predated the Toyota MR-2 by several years. Today, the Fiat X1/9 has a cult following around the world, with fans smitten by the car’s baby-Ferrari style and experience. Our featured car is reportedly all-original and comes with original mileage of just 49,300 on the odometer — exceptional for a car of this vintage.
The Camaro platform was introduced in 1966 as a pony car to compete with Ford's wildly successful Mustang. It quickly rose to fame and became very desirable among both muscle car and sports car enthusiasts. The third-generation Camaro was introduced in 1982, and it modernized the platform heavily with innovations in all departments. The IROC-Z was a performance option that was exclusively available on the Z28 Camaro. It was born out of a racing series, making it a unique Camaro trim level with Corvette DNA. This is a well-preserved example of a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Coupe with just 4,820 miles.
Even though pickup trucks were far more utilitarian back in the ’50s, they still had a popular following. While they may not have offered the same blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort as today’s options, trucks like the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup were known for their reliability and ruggedness. Originally known as the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks, in 1958 the company changed the names of their lineup. The light-duty series, as is featured here, adopted the “Apache” moniker, along with a redesign of the front end. Our featured truck appears to be in excellent condition for a workhorse of its age. It has a 235ci I6 engine under the hood and a manual transmission.
