- 1968 Model year Volkswagen Beetle
- Manual
- 1900cc Dual Carb
The original Volkswagen Beetle is one of those legendary cars in global automotive history. Produced from 1938 to 2003 (with a break during the Second World War, of course), over 21 million were made, in no less than eighteen countries, including Germany. Built to be a People's Car that was as simple as possible to own, drive and maintain, Beetles enjoy a cult following worldwide. You'll find those who adhere to the purist look and the restomod community. This particular 1968 Volkswagen Beetle Restomod carries some influence from the 'Cal-Style' fraternity, which would see an otherwise stock Beetle lowered for a better stance and given added chrome. This car bears just 69,000 miles since new, we are told.
Exterior and Interior
From the outset, the California-originated 'Cal Style' influence is apparent on this 1968 Volkswagen Beetle Restomod, from its suave black paintwork to the shaved roof profile and aftermarket wheels. You'll also notice the ample chromework adorning this car and the larger twin exhaust tips in, you guessed it, chrome. The bodywork looks in good nick, as do the lights and fittings. The black convertible top adds to the allure, as you can drop the top and enjoy the purr of that air-cooled flat-four, feel the wind in your hair, and experience what a Beetle really is like. The red interior is mostly unchanged from the original and offers seating for four adults. Front seat occupants are granted lap belts, and the original speedometer remains, flanked by an aftermarket rev counter and oil pressure gauge. The classic steering wheel, pedals, gearstick, door cards, and window winders remain. A peek behind the rear seats reveals an aftermarket speaker box that hosts four speakers and a handle for easy transport.
Engine
The original Beetle always sported a flat four in the tail that was meant to be as simple as possible. Air cooling was the way to go, and the distinctive purr of a Beetle's powerplant means you know one is coming well before you see it. This 1968 Volkswagen Beetle Restomod appears to have an upgrade in the engine department, as we're told that it packs a 1,900cc flat-four with dual carbs. Drive is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox.
