This 1966 Volkswagen Beetle has undergone a refurbishment, which consisted of a repaint in blue, an interior refresh, and the installation of a 1,385cc flat-four that is mated with a four-speed manual transaxle. The car has been modified with an adjustable narrowed front beam, drop spindles, 15″ wheels, and an aftermarket front stabilizer bar, while additional features include black vinyl upholstery, stainless-steel trim, chrome bumpers with overrides, rubber-topped running boards, Coco floor mats, lap belts, and a wooden shift knob. The body was repainted the current shade of blue during the refurbishment, at which time the panels were stripped to bare metal and the fender liners and the floor pan has been treated with a 3M rubberized black coating. Additional details include rubber-topped running boards, a chrome left side mirror, dual exhaust outlets, stainless-steel trim, and chrome bumpers with overriders. Gray-finished 15″ wheels feature silver lips and are mounted with 145-width front and 165-width rear Firestone F-560 tires showing 2018 date codes. The drum brakes were replaced during the refurbishment, and the car is equipped with a narrowed adjustable lowered front beam, drop spindles, KYB shocks, and a heavy-duty front stabilizer bar. A silver-painted spare wheel wrapped in a Continental ContiEcoContact EP tire is housed in the front trunk. The seats have been reupholstered in black vinyl and are complemented by color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Coco floor mats line the footwells, and additional appointments include lap belts, a painted dashboard, a passenger grab handle, hand-crank windows, and a wooden shift knob. The carpets were replaced and the headliner was re-covered during the refurbishment. A two-spoke steering wheel wears a Wolfsburg center cover and fronts a replacement VDO 90-mph speedometer and a fuel level gauge. The car has been driven 723 miles since refurbishment . The replacement 1,385cc flat-four features an Olstand oil-bath air cleaner and was rebuilt prior to its installation. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle.
