1970 Volkswagen VW Bug Beetle Rat Rod

This is a California car. It was owns by a Marine that brought it back to Texas and gave it to his little brother. It was his little brothers car for over ten year. He made it look the way it does with a tremendous amount of time invested in it. He was not the best mechanic though. Mechanically there is absolutely nothing that this car needs. It has a rebuilt 1647cc motor about 3000 miles on it (dropped oil several times and broke in properly, no shavings), brand new dropped and narrowed front beam with drop spindles, lowered rear end, new alternator, new belt, new plugs, new wiring harness, brand new disc brakes and lines all the way around, there is more new stuff in the engine compartment. The body looks rusty but it is just surface rust. The interior it pretty custom. I started to put door panels in it but my friends yelled at me. The ceiling is done in wood. I've been debating about doing the inside in burlap or a different fabric. Its really easy to do and cheap so I'm not negotiating over the interior. The seats are more comfortable than anything you can buy and far more original. The clutch is new and the stick is replaced with one from an earlier model. Its got temp and tach gauges mounted where they need to be. Its got a stereo that kind of works. Might need a new amp is all but as for the deck and wiring its all in. The wheels are powder coated and there is a full sized powder coated spare in the front. Let me know if you want to buy it.
