Gasoline

This car was built from a late 80's CMC kit in 1999. The VW chassis is a 1969 which was upgraded with disc brakes all around! The motor was built by Car Custom, is 2,275cc's, and has dual Dellorto carbs! Here's a rundown of the car:2275cc motorDual Dellorto 45 carburetorsPorted & polished heads, stainless steel valves, chromoly retainers, dual springsFour speed manual transmission with rhino case with hardened gearsRacing strength clutch, Kennedy pressure plateFull flow 8 pass oil cooler mounted to front of fan shroudOil breather boxExtra capacity deep sump and external oil filterMonza exhaust with chrome tipsVW chassis VIN 119401317, a 1969 model914 disc brakes front and rear, braided stainless brake linesFully adjustable front and rear suspensionPorsche style VDO gaugesElectric fuel pumpOriginal VW horn and a dual trumpet air horn (switch to use one or the other)Slotted chrome wheels with baby moon hub capsConvertible top and extra tonneau coverPictures show bumpers removed, I likes the look better. Bumpers do come with the car and are simple reinstall if desired. Have the following extra gear that was purchased but never installed on the car:Rear sway barNew Halogen head lightsNew Halogen fog lightsNew Kwik Wire wiring harness (not much electrical on the car but planned to install the new wiring with the updates lighting)Used Lecarra leather steering wheelI have a number of book resources that have helped me over the years and will go with the car; the Dellorto carb tech book, original CMC assembly manual, VW Beetle Autobook, the famous John Muir 'How to Keep your VW Alive' book. Car body isn't perfect, it is gelcoat, not paint, so could easily be rubbed and polished to a sparkly finish. All the doors, hood, & trunk seat properly and latch well. Car is being sold as is, where is. Car may be picked up or I can arrange transportation for additional cost.
