1960 Volkswagen BEETLE

Vehicle Overview

 1960 Coral Red (L-351) rag top. This is a very nice car that was featured in Hot Vw's back in December of 2006. This was a creation of John Woosley who has built other feature cars in the past. He was able to find this car in California and had to have it because it was a rust free un hit rag that we all know is not that common any more. He completed a complete pan off nut and bolt restoration. This is one of the nicest 60's rag tops you will find anywhere... Since the restoration the car has had less than a couple of thousand miles put on it. Below is a build list. I am sure I will leave out some details but here goes...

-Original pans that were painted along with the chassis gloss black.
-The body and pans have RM products including urethane paint. Inside the fenders and the underside of the car is as nice as the top...
-All original glass except for a new windshield.
-Original bumpers, headlight rings, turn signal topers, hood and deck lid handles and door handles that have all been re chromed. The ignition key works with the door handle.
