Volkswagen Beetle Typ1 2332 cc 1964
General description :
1964 Volkswagen Beetle Custom This 64 Volkswagen is an absolutely beautiful example of one of these cars. It is easily one of the nicest we have ever seen and we don't make statements like that often. It may be labeled as a VW but you almost have to look at it as more of a custom show car. If you are looking for a run of the mill Beetle then this may not be the car for you. However, if a top of the line, better then new Beetle that guarantees trophies is on your list then you just found it. It went through a full body off build process and has less than 100 miles since being completed. The paint is absolutely beautiful and was completed by Jacks Paint Place in Converse, TX. The Black Cherry Pearl really comes to life out in the sun and suits the car well. The custom Stockton wheels are painted to match and feature chrome hubcaps. All of the stainless trim is in excellent condition with a nice shine. You really aren't going to find a weak area anywhere on this car. We can't emphasize enough how well built this bug is. The 2332cc motor was built by Harmon Racing out of Irving, TX and runs extremely well. The car is surprisingly quick and sounds great. Check out the list below to see all the internals of the motor. 84mm SCAT forged type 4 main journal crank with center main trust setup and 2 inch rod journals SCAT billet flanged flywheel with street/strip clutch disc to a Kennedy Stage 2 pressure plate SCAT rods and 94mm Wiseco pistons 30mm full flow oil pump with billet 2 piece oil filter mounted on a JayCee billet oil filter bracket Gene Berg pulley, linkage, 3.5 quart low profile oil sump and intake manifolds 48mm throttle body heads are CNC ported CB Performance 44x38 valves with 1.4 rockers 3/8 inch chromoly pushrods in JayCee 2 piece pushrod tubes Empi valve covers with chromoly head studs Dog house fan shroud with a welded and balanced fan Black powder coated alternator All stainless steel plumbing and fittings for oil/fuel lines Stainless steel 1 3/4 inch exhaust and polished SS muffler External oil cooler and fan set up Multiple spark discharge MSD 6-AL box and MSD coil Haltech Engine Control Unit brain and wiring for electronic fuel injection system Every piece of this car was professionally done and it shows. The EFI system was installed by Alamo Auto Sports in Arlington, TX and the transaxle built by The Bug Stop in Arlington. It has a Gene Berg 12 inch shifter with 40% reduced throw and moves through the gears perfectly. The front and rear disc brakes are from Empi and utilize stainless steel braided lines throughout. The suspension features KYB shocks and an Arkewld ultimate adjustable front beam for a nice smooth ride down the road. Most VW interiors are pretty plain and most of the time look the same. This car however is totally unique. If we showed you pictures of just the interior most people would think they are looking inside of a high end street rod. Prior to being done the interior cabin was coated with Lizard skin spray for heat and sound control. It was then finished out by Classic Customs in Converse, TX with Beige faux leather which covers the seats and door panels. It is very comfortable and easily one of the nicest VW interiors you will ever see. The dash was painted to match the body and is topped off with Black VDO gauges and an Alpine stereo system. It doesn't stop there though because the trunk was finished out just as nicely with matching upholstery. It houses an Alpine amp and even the gas tank was painted to match the body. The level of detail on this car is top of the line and puts it up on the level of any custom show car out there. You couldn't build this custom for our reduced asking price of $29,250.00 $26,250.00! Over $34K was invested in parts alone, not including labor.

About Volkswagen
The Volkswagen story is indeed an intriguing tale of innovation, resilience, and post-war revival, marked by various models that have become iconic in automotive history.The People's Car (Volkswagen): Initially envisioned by Adolf Hitler in the 1930s as a "people's car" or "Volkswagen" in German, the idea was to create an affordable and practical vehicle for the German people. This concept led to the development of the Volkswagen Beetle (or the Type 1), designed by Ferdinand Porsche.
Post-War Challenges: After World War II, Volkswagen faced significant challenges. The factory was heavily damaged, and the brand's association with the Nazi regime led to a lack of interest in the car in some regions.
British Intervention - The British Army & Ivan Hirst: The British Army took control of the factory in the immediate post-war period. Major Ivan Hirst, a British Army officer, played a crucial role in reviving Volkswagen. He recognized the potential of the Beetle and advocated for its production, convincing the British military to order several thousand cars. This decision helped jumpstart the brand's revival.
Export Success and the Beetle's Global Appeal: The Beetle gained popularity not only in Germany but also globally, becoming an icon of affordable motoring. Its simple, reliable design and unique appearance made it a favorite among consumers worldwide.
Model Evolution: Over the years, Volkswagen introduced various models alongside the Beetle, each contributing to the brand's growth:
Type 2 (VW Bus or Transporter): Introduced in the 1950s, it became an iconic symbol of the hippie movement in the 1960s, loved for its spaciousness and versatility.
Golf (Rabbit in the U.S.): Launched in the mid-1970s, the Golf (or Rabbit in the U.S.) marked a shift towards front-wheel-drive, modern design, and hatchback practicality, becoming a cornerstone of the brand's success.
Passat, Jetta, and Other Models: Volkswagen expanded its lineup with models like the Passat and Jetta, catering to different market segments.
Challenges and Innovations: Despite success, Volkswagen faced challenges, including quality issues in the 1970s. However, the brand continued to innovate and develop new models and technologies.
Rise of the GTI and Global Expansion: The 1980s saw the rise of the iconic Golf GTI, a high-performance version that sparked the hot hatch trend. Volkswagen also expanded its global presence during this period.
The British intervention in reviving Volkswagen after World War II played a pivotal role in the brand's resurgence. While there might have been some tensions or competition among automotive companies in the 1950s and 1960s due to Volkswagen's post-war success, the brand's ability to produce innovative and popular models solidified its place in automotive history.
