1960 VW Beetle Convertible For Sale



This California based 1960 Beetle is a really sweet custom ride.ue approach, great use of color and
a neat blend of old and new details. This car is an eye catcher!


Early Oval style front turn signals, Euro bumpers


Nice stance






Accessory horn grilles, Volkswagen script and Wolfsburg crest.
All the body trim is in place which is nice.


Really a cool ride


Paint and bodywork is really nice and the pearl in the finish really glows in the right light.


Proper 1960 taillights and convertible only engine lid.
I really dig the VW logo above the plate light...cool!




The interior is high class with rich grey upholstery on the seats and panels,
Billet accessories like handles and steering wheel




I love the color brought into the interior with the simple use on the dash.


Really nice looking "street rod" level work in here...far above
the norm in the VW scene


Stitch pattern is classy and attractive.
Nice to see the two tone paint brought cleanly into the door jams.


Seat belts are installed so you can haul the kids around.


Nice audio system in the car with an amp and speakers behind the back seat.


Crazy cool Vintage Speed shifter!


Front speakers are cleanly mounted, carpet is a high end square weave.
Nice touch with the carpet trimming under the dash to keep the interior a bit warmer and quieter.


Billet aluminum dash knobs, nice simple added instrumentation under the dash


Dash looks sweet! Check out the modern head unit and the cell phone holder above
Steering column is super clean and the aluminum hub for the wheel is sweet.


Nice plush door panels


Steering wheel is gorgeous!




Dig that crazy shifter!


Very nicely fit carpets...a full pro install, not some off the shelf kit.




Excellent condition


Wheels and tires are the classic favorite "fuchs" Porsche alloys, fully detailed of course.



Here you can see a bit of the pearl coming to life in the sun...in person it really glows!!


Fluted Euro headlight lenses look great
Chrome is excellent


Front trunk is very cleanly detailed and upholstered.
Check out the gorgeous custom hood hinges with shocks to hold the hood up!


This is really a slick idea... a matching fuel filler cover!


Slips right off for filling and then slips back on for showtime!


What a beautiful car!


Out back is a very strong running , super reliable single port engine with a few add ons.
Its a bit of a sleeper actually, as what appears to be a simple 1600, is really a 2007cc
performance engine. This crazy combination is the work of the masters at Old Speed here in California
where they have been building some really slick engines that not only have the added performance, but
decent fuel economy as well. Proper jetting in a single carb can easily give the big engine what it needs
without bolting on gas guzzling Webers that need fiddling with all the time.


12 volt electrics with the alternator


Flame thrower electronic ignition distributor...no points to mess with.


Really runs out strong!


Behind the engine is a built Bus gearbox, exhaust is a Tri-Mill Bobtail setup
The rear suspension is IRS...another conversion by OldSpeed that is an incredible
upgrade when it comes to ride and handling.






Wheels are tires are excellent


Along with the IRS conversion, the wheels stay properly upright, rather than tucked in
all camber crazy when lowered like a swing axle car.
Keeps the rubber on the road where it needs to be and is set up for excellent clearance at the fender.
Rear ride height on this car is adjustable with high end Fox air shocks.
Filler is in the engine room.




Top is from Chucks Convertible Parts and is superb.






Beautiful material and fit.


Headliner looks fantastic as well


Top frame has been fully restored and all rubber seals are fresh




Nice fit!










Very well done




I love the exhaust set up...tucked in nice and neat...no bog goofy muffler hanging out back.


Engine is super clean underneath.


This was a full, body off restoration by the way...look at how clean that floorpan is!


Front suspension with its narrowed beam and Fox air shocks.
Surprisingly nice ride and the ability to adjust the ride height to your desires.




Dual stage master cylinder feeds the disc brakes up front and the stock drums out back.




Disc brakes and drop spindles




Beam is adjustable in the center as well


In closing this is a really nice car.
It looks great with a fun and classy approach to the modifications
and the performance and handling upgrades are also a well done and unique approach.
This is a beautiful machine.
