1969 Volkswagen Beetle

1969 Volkswagen Beetle Custom Convertible For Sale

Chopped & Widened Lowered 1600cc Engine 4-Speed Manual Front Disc Brakes Porsche-Style Wheels Reinforced Undercarriage

Offered for sale is this one-of-a-kind 1969 Volkswagen Beetle Custom Convertible, a seriously cool little cruiser thats been extensively modified from stock with a chopped windshield, widened body, lowered stance, custom fiberglass fenders, and a reinforced chassis.

Finished in bright Red with a Black interior, this Beetle has a look all its own. Sitting low over staggered-looking Porsche-style wheels with its chopped windshield and wide fenders, it has an almost roadster-like appearance thats guaranteed to attract attention wherever it goes.

Just as importantly, some serious attention has been paid underneath the car. The heater channels are solid, and the undercarriage has been reinforced with steel square tubing, adding additional structural support to this highly customized convertible.

Custom Chopped & Widened Body

The body has been completely transformed from the familiar stock Beetle profile.

Custom fiberglass fenders at all four corners give the car a significantly wider stance, while the chopped windshield and smoothed bodywork dramatically lower its visual profile.

Exterior highlights include:

Chopped Windshield
Widened Body
Custom Fiberglass Fenders
Smoothed Bodywork
Bright Red Finish
Custom Roll Bar
Removable Bimini-Style Top
Custom 1963 Corvette-Style Taillights
Custom Headlights
Integrated LED Front Turn Signals

The combination gives this Beetle a distinctive custom-roadster personality while still remaining immediately recognizable as one of the most iconic automobiles ever built.

1600cc Air-Cooled VW Engine

Power comes from a 1600cc air-cooled Volkswagen engine that has been freshened and nicely detailed in colors that complement the rest of the build.

Its paired with the traditional 4-speed manual transmission, keeping the classic Volkswagen driving experience intact.

The car is reported to:

Start Right Up
Run Great
Shift Through a 4-Speed Manual
Drive and Cruise Nicely
Be an Absolute Blast Around Town

In a lightweight custom Beetle like this, you dont need huge horsepower numbers to have fun.

Front Disc Brakes

Stopping performance has been improved with a front disc-brake conversion, providing a worthwhile upgrade over the original-style front drum arrangement.

The suspension itself remains largely stock-style, but the front end has been fitted with drop spindles to achieve the cars lowered stance.

Chassis and suspension highlights include:

Front Disc Brakes
Stock-Style Suspension
Drop Spindles
Lowered Stance
Solid Heater Channels
Reinforced Undercarriage

These are especially worthwhile upgrades on a custom convertible intended to actually be driven and enjoyed.

Reinforced Undercarriage

One of the most important aspects of this build is underneath the car.

The heater channels are solid, an important consideration on any vintage Volkswagen Beetle and particularly important on a convertible where structural integrity deserves extra attention.

Additionally, the undercarriage has been reinforced with steel square tubing.

This added reinforcement provides additional structural support to the modified convertible chassis and is an important part of the overall build.

Porsche-Style Wheels & New Tires

The low and wide stance is completed by a set of custom Porsche-style wheels wrapped in brand-new tires.

The wheel choice works perfectly with the modified Beetle body, giving it a sportier European appearance while complementing the dramatically lowered stance.

Custom Interior

The custom treatment continues inside.

The Black interior provides a great contrast against the bright Red exterior and incorporates several upgrades designed to make the car more comfortable and enjoyable.

Interior features include:

Bucket Seats
Billet Steering Wheel
Leather-Wrapped Steering Wheel
New Door Panels
New Rear Interior Panels
Custom Audio System
Infinity Speakers
Custom Roll Bar
Clean Black Interior

The combination of bucket seats, billet steering wheel, and open cockpit makes the car feel more like a custom roadster than a traditional Beetle.

Custom Audio

A custom stereo system with Infinity speakers provides upgraded sound for cruising.

With the removable Bimini top off and the windshield chopped down, its exactly the kind of car youll want to take out on a warm summer evening.

The custom build has accumulated only a couple thousand miles, while the odometer currently displays 17,608 miles.

Given the extent of the modifications and the age of the vehicle, the odometer reading should be considered indicated mileage rather than represented as actual total chassis mileage.
