Information
Lot # 6
Group - Category Cars & Vehicles - Collector / Antique Autos - Classic / Vintage (1940-1989)
Lead 1955 LS V8 POWERED VW BEETLE
Description
1955 Volkswagen Beetle - Rare oval window, Semaphore beetle - Full custom ground up build - Front mounted, built LS V8 engine - Turbo 700 Automatic transmission - Airbag suspension - Four-wheel disc brakes - Ragtop opening roof insert - 16” black centre wheels This 1955 VW Beetle has been through a full ground up custom nut and bolt build into a one off street machine! This bug ticks about every box you could ask for in a beetle and more. Firstly, the little flat 4cyl engine is gone from the back and the body now sits on a full custom chassis with a built Chevy LS1 V8 jambed under the front. On top of the crazy engine conversion the car is a rare oval window, Semaphore beetle, with opening rag top roof and is slammed to the ground with air suspension! I don’t think there is a wilder built Beetle anywhere in the world! Starting with the chassis, the original pan is gone and has been replaced with a full custom chassis with double wishbone front suspension with tubular A -arms and air bags while the rear is a four-link air bag rear end. Steering is handled thanks to a rack and pinion set up. Obviously the engine is now located in the front with the cooling system moved to the rear under the boot lid. There is extensive tubing and bracing to handle the horsepower upgrade. To make sure everything pulls up nicely there is a set of four-wheel disc brakes. The engine itself is a built LS1 with new rings, bearings and custom 232/234 grind cam. The engine features a new 650 Holley carby, Edelbrock performance inlet manifold and an MSD ignition system. This package was built and fitted to the bug in 2021. The engine is mounted using tuff mounts and exhaust gasses are expelled through custom extractors into a twin 2.5" exhaust system. The engine is paired to a Turbo 700, four-speed automatic transmission with 2500 rpm stall converter. Power is fed to the rear wheels through a Toyota Dayna differential. The whole car has been rewired front to back. Keeping things cool in the back of the bug is a new big alloy radiator setup with twin thermos fans. Structural rigidity is improved with a custom strut tower brace up front and roll cage hoop inside. We are told that during one of a few runs the bug had down the ¼ mile it ran a best of 9.80 before being told that was enough for the day. The body of the bug has been fully repainted in gloss back during the build approximately 5 years ago. Being an early bug, it is fitted with the very desirable oval rear window as well as pop out semaphores which are fully functional. The roof has been converted to include a pull open rag top which allows some light and air into the cabin. The bumpers have been colour coded gloss black and the bug sits slammed down low over a set of 16” wheels with colour matched centres. Inside the bug is very custom given the amount of work and fabrication required. Firstly, being built here in Australia, its right hand drive. It has been converted to a two seater with a full custom firewall, floor pans, trans tunnel and wheel tubs. The dash is custom built with a set of Autometer gauges to keen an eye on what’s happening under the hood. The seats are RCI fixed low back buckets with harnesses. There is a roll bar over the top for safety and a fire extinguisher mounted behind the front seats. The big trans tunnel has a TCI shifter mounted on it and the steering wheel is an Alcantara SAAS item. The airbags are operated by manual switches with pressure gauges on the lower part of the dash. Since completion the bug has previously been registered in historic registration in Victoria in 2017 with the V8 engine. This is an incredible build with a huge amount of work in fabrication and man hours to put it all together. There wouldn’t be a wilder custom built VW on the planet and certainly is one of a kind. If you can see yourself having a blast in this bad bug, be sure to register and bid. VIN: 2155057 ENG: K223957 IMPORTANT: Vehicle information is provided to us by the consignee.
