This 1959 Volkswagen Beetle is finished in grey over a two-tone white and red interior and is powered by a 1,600cc flat-four mated to a four-speed manual transaxle. It was originally sold through Anderson Motors in San Jose, California and has reportedly remained registered in the state since. A new carburetor was installed in 2021, while the fuel pump and muffler were replaced and the transaxle rebuilt in 2018. Equipment includes black California license plates, a roof rack, amber-tinted driving lamps, dual exhaust outlets, mudflaps, and a Retrosound AM/FM radio.
The car is finished in Anthracite Grey and underwent a cosmetic refurbishment under previous ownership. Exterior details include a roof rack, chrome bumpers with rails, amber-tinted driving lamps, a driver-side mirror, VW-branded rear mudflaps, dual exhaust outlets, and black California license plates.
Pearl white-painted 15” steel wheels with black painted inserts wear chrome VW hubcaps, and 165-width Firestone F560 tires. A full-size spare, jack, and tool roll are housed in the front trunk.
The interior features vinyl upholstery that was re-dyed in white and red along with matching door panels and salt-and-pepper squareweave carpeting. A wicker shelf is found beneath the dash and additional appointments include a Retrosound AM/FM radio with USB connectivity, rubber floor mats, and a fire extinguisher and a wire basket mounted on the transmission tunnel.
A two-spoke steering wheel with a Wolfsburg-crest horn button frames a VDO 80-mph speedometer. The five-digit odometer shows 23k miles.
The replacement 1,600cc flat-four is fitted with a single carburetor that was installed in June 2021. Work performed in 2018 included replacement of the fuel pump and gaskets, oil pressure switch, rear main seal, and distributor O-ring.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle that was rebuilt in 2018.
