1962
VW Beetle

A true icon is rolling into the shop.

This 1962 Volkswagen Beetle is about to undergo a serious transformation, taking it from its original 30-horsepower setup to a spirited 135-horsepower performer.

The build features a 2007cc stroker engine with twin 44mm carburetors, a strengthened transaxle, a Kennedy High Performance clutch, and the legendary "Freeway Flyer" gearing package.

Classic Volkswagen charm. Modern performance. Built the Rods West way.

Stay tuned as we bring this fan-favorite Beetle to life.
