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.
