This car is my daily driver, so it’s not perfect, but it’s solid, reliable, wonderful, and gets compliments wherever it goes.

This beetle has been an evolving project over the last 5 years, and I’ll list all of the mods that I can remember, in rough chronological order.


  • All glass removed and replaced, and all window seals replaced with new rubber.

  • Floor and door interiors lined with Dynamat acoustic absorption material. These first two mods give the car a feel that is solid as a bank vault.

  • 2.5” dropped front spindle. It’s not a lowrider, but it is a low-er rider than stock, and the stance looks really good.

  • New seat covers on front and rear seats.

  • New carpet

  • Converted to 12v sysyem with 12 v generator

  • Found an original Motorola radio and installed it, but it is just for looks.

  • New brakes, wheels cylinders, and master cylinders

  • New wheel bearings

  • Added 3 point safety belts to the front seats, and lap belts for the rear passengers.

  • New tires- now Good tires (estimated 10k miles) on stock steel wheels with baby moon hubcaps, I also have a spare wheel and two extra tires.


I ran it like this for about 3 years, with the 100% original single port 40hp motor but last year,  made the following changes:


  • Installed a rebuilt 1600 dual port motor, clearancing the original transaxle to fit the larger flywheel.

  • Installed a new set of Weber 34ICT dual carbs. The carburation is much more precise now, and it has a considerable amount more power.

  • Installed 4 into 1 tuned header system with a single quiet pack muffler (sounds awesome, but not too loud)

  • Installed new Pertronix electronic ignition and distributor.

  • New coil and plug wires (not yellow!)

  • New mechanical fuel pump

  • Installed more modern 12 v alternator

  • New battery


This car is Faded Glory White. The bodywork on this car is_mostly_original, but does have a bit of mix-n-match going on. I had a very minor fender bender involving rainy, oily roads and hit a jeep at about 10mph. As a result, I replaced the front hood with a used one from austin Veedub, and ordered a repop front right fender. I have haven't painted either of them, so the hood is a different shade of white and the fender is primer grey. I just figured that the mix-n-match pieces were part of the car’s story, and left them as-is.


The car is mostly rust-free, although there is the typical rusty patch directly under the battery. This section has been repaired, but it’s the only real rust that I’m aware of.


This car has an interesting history, and I have all of the original paperwork from the original sale. it was purchased brand new in 1963, and the buyer ( a UT Professor) drove to Houston to pick up the car right off the boat. He drove it for 40+ years until he sold it to local Austin VW legend David Crow. David installed the dropped spindle, dynomat, and window rubber, then lost interest and sold it to me. With my dad’s help, we finished it up, and I have been driving it as my sole car for the last 5 years. Now, I’m going to college in San Marcos. They are eliminating the bus route, and I really don’t want to put the highway wear and tear on the beetle, so after much soul searching, I have decided to sell my pride and joy.


I would recommend coming to see the car before purchase if possible, it is an amazing car from a different and more gentle era, making it unique on the road in many ways. Please feel free to ask questions, I love talking about this car! Buyer is responsible for arranging means of picking up. Thanks for looking!

Volkswagen e-Co-Motion concept poised for delivery to Geneva

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

With Nissan getting ready to launch the e-NV200, it appears Volkswagen is looking to go after the same zero-emission commercial vehicle market with the all-electric 2013 e-Co-Motion Concept. Debuting next week at the Geneva Motor Show, the e-Co-Motion Concept might be small in size, but VW says it has cargo and payload capacities that should be perfect for small businesses.
Measuring 179 inches long, 75 inches wide and 77 inches tall, the e-Co-Motion Concept has about the same footprint as the current Golf, and it has a cargo capacity of 162 cubic feet and a maximum payload of more than 1,700 pounds. There isn't too much information on the e-Co-Motion just yet - such as what electric components and platform are used - but the press release posted below states while the concept is shown as a cargo van, future body styles could include a passenger wagon or a refrigerated box van.
