A genuine German classic with the increasingly rare ragtop option, this 1959 Volkswagen Beetle wears its black paint with understated coolness. The iconic Bug profile sits low and tight to the ground, giving it an aggressive attitude that separates it from typical stock bugs. Those modern 17-inch wheels create a stunning visual contrast against the vintage body lines, while 205/40ZR17 tires fill the wheel wells perfectly. The ragtop allows for open-air cruising while maintaining the unmistakable Beetle silhouette. This VW combines authentic Wolfsburg DNA with carefully chosen modifications that enhance its street presence.
The vibrant red vinyl interior jumps out with bold German sports car energy when you open the doors. Those vintage bucket seats offer the perfect balance of comfort and period authenticity, while matching door panels with parchment inserts add visual depth to the cabin. The modern JVC audio system doesn't try to hide its contemporary technology, instead providing straightforward access to AM/FM, CD, USB and auxiliary inputs. For those who appreciate good sound, the subwoofer system delivers impressive audio punch that you'll feel as much as hear. The original-style steering wheel and simple gauge layout keep everything connected to the Beetle's minimalist German roots.
Powering this Bug is a 1776cc four-cylinder engine with just 500 miles since rebuild. The dual single-barrel carburetors look fantastic within the tidy engine compartment, creating a setup that enhances the car's authentic German character. Running through a precise 4-speed manual transmission, the drivetrain delivers that unmistakable air-cooled soundtrack through long-tube headers and a stinger-style single exhaust. The independent suspension setup at all four corners carries the VW tradition of excellent handling, while the lowered stance creates a planted feel that adds to the car's visual impact. Drum brakes bring everything to a controlled stop when needed.
