Summary
This 1961 Volkswagen Beetle has been extensively refurbished and modified, featuring a metallic yellow exterior over brown upholstery and a white cloth sliding sunroof. It is powered by an overhauled 1,915cc flat-four engine paired with a four-speed manual transaxle from a Karmann Ghia, and boasts a lowered suspension with a dropped front axle and EMPI-style 15″ wheels. The cabin includes an eight-ball shifter, a Bendix Sapphire II push-button AM/FM stereo, and a VDO 90-mph speedometer showing 59k miles, though total mileage is unknown.
