Although originally conceived as a no-frills car to provide transport to the masses, the charm of the humble Volkswagen Beetle has led to one of the most diverse and inclusive fan bases in the world. With over 21 million Volkswagen Beetles produced, the Beetle seemingly appeals to all ages and tastes and provides a platform for both collectors and customizers to indulge in. When it comes to Beetles, we’ve listed everything at Exotic Car Trader: from concourse-level restorations, low mileage survivors, and some of the wildest creations. And we think you’ll agree; our featured 1959 Volkswagen Beetle most certainly falls into the latter category. This impressive Beetle build was completed in 2007 and embraces the custom hot-rod trend, with extensive modifications made to the body. However, it still manages to preserve the Beetle connection, leaving onlookers with little doubt over what lies in front of them. If you’re in the market for a truly unique creation, then this customized 1959 Volkswagen Beetle may just be the car for you.
Just about every part of this 1959 Volkswagen Beetle appears to have been customized in some way or another. The body features a chopped roof for open-air motoring, with a custom-chopped windshield and windshield frame that further lowers the exterior height. You’ll also find that the doors have been sealed, providing extra rigidity to the body. The owner reports that the car was painted in 2007, and the hood features a custom flame graphic. You'll also notice that the VW badge on the front has been swapped out for a skull and crossbones. The front and rear fenders have been removed to reveal the suspension setup in all its glory. Meanwhile, this Bug’s headlights have also been relocated to accommodate the lack of fenders. A red rear luggage rack is installed on the engine cover, while the Beetle rests on red-painted wire-spoke wheels with chrome center caps. The wheels are wrapped in Firestone rubber, which offers a period-looking tread pattern. Moving inside, you won’t find an air conditioning unit, but you will find a red interior with a custom dashboard. The seats feature lap belts and there's a radio with Bluetooth and USB compatibility.
Mounted at the rear is a flat-four air-cooled engine — but, not just any engine. The owner reports that this 1600c unit was sourced from another VW, likely a later-model Beetle. The engine is mounted to a four-speed manual Freeway Flier racing transmission powering the rear wheels. This custom Beetle features drum brakes but includes the modern addition of power steering for effortless maneuverability at all speeds.

The 1967 Chevrolet Impala represented the final year of one of Chevrolet’s most elegant full-size body styles of the decade, combining sweeping proportions with unmistakable American V8 presence. By this point, the Impala had firmly established itself as one of America’s most popular full-size cars, available in everything from comfortable family cruisers to big-block-powered boulevard bruisers. This 1967 Chevrolet Impala Convertible shows approximately 35,353 miles and presents as a beautifully configured open-top cruiser, finished in striking Bolero Red over a Parchment interior with a matching convertible top. With big-block power, upgraded drivability features, and timeless styling, this Impala offers the kind of classic American motoring experience that remains endlessly appealing.


This 1995 Ford Mustang GT Convertible is what happens when a clean SN95 cruiser is transformed into a genuinely serious street machine. While the chassis shows 99,658 miles, the seller reports that the heavily upgraded drivetrain is substantially fresher, with approximately 2,000 miles on the built 347 stroker V8 and fewer than 750 miles on the professionally built transmission. Finished in factory-correct Laser Red Metallic over Saddle with a matching Saddle soft top, this Mustang retains classic mid-1990s convertible charm while packing performance figures that would embarrass many modern muscle cars. With a dyno-reported output of over 450 horsepower at the wheels and more than 510 lb-ft of torque, this is not a casual bolt-on build—it’s a purposefully assembled forced-induction street car for enthusiasts who appreciate old-school supercharged V8 brutality.


The 1965 Ford Mustang GT helped ignite America’s pony car revolution and quickly became one of the most influential performance cars of the 1960s. Combining sporty styling, compact dimensions, and V8 power at an attainable price point, the Mustang transformed Ford’s image overnight and created an entirely new segment in the automotive world. Showing just 18,813 miles, this example is finished in elegant Vintage Burgundy over a black interior and equipped with the highly desirable GT package, complete with a 289ci V8 and 4-speed manual transmission. With its timeless proportions, unmistakable styling cues, and engaging analog driving experience, this first-generation Mustang GT represents the pure essence of mid-1960s American performance motoring.
