1968 Custom Volkswagen Bug Here is a rare opportunity to own a clean custom ‘68 bug that looks like an early 60s classic Volkswagen--a blast from the past! Although this is an older restoration, it still looks great! Details: Front and rear aprons have been replaced with early aprons. Front hood is a ’61, the deck-lid is a ’60, and the front and rear fenders are early 60s reproduction with shaved front turn signals (turn signals in front headlights). The fuel door on the body was welded and an early gas tank was installed. To finish off the early look, chrome over-rider bumpers and low back seats was included! This gives the bug a timeless, clean look. The VDO gauges on a custom smooth dash. And the interior is spotless with black seats and two-tone black/off-white door panels. As for the suspension: Adjustable beam and dropped spindles give the car a nice lowered stance. Porsche 914 disc brakes up front; new Bilstein shocks front & rear. Great handling car--135s tires up front & 215/60s in the rear. Additionally, a 1600cc low mileage (only 1,500 miles), single port engine, with a clean original look, and recent oil change and tune up makes for a modern classic daily driver. Fireball electronic ignition system for reliability and great mpg, she’s ready to be enjoyed. Paint still looks good but showing signs of age: some chips and dings. Overall a timeless custom that lends nostalgia of classic history. Still turns heads and gets compliments every time I take her out.
