Car is in Canada. (but if I win the Lotto it will be inLimerick :lol: )
Cheers, Coxy.
This car was featured in the January 2007 issue of HotVWs magazine. It is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I built it to be my ultimate bug, after seeing Randy Gates' beetle at the classic, and other feature cars in the magazines. I am personal friends with Pat Downs of CB Performance and he built me the motor. It took a year while I waited for the fuel injection prototype system to be ready. The car is getting fitted with a Peloquin LSD this winter (over Christmas) as well as the new fuel injection system from CB (a few new hardware items, and new software). Other than that, the car is ready to go. Drives great on the street at 12 pounds of boost, and has run an 11.94 at the track in the 1/4 at 16 pounds of boost. Here is my official description of the car:
This car was built by me as my dream car. No expense has been spared in it?s creation- if I wanted it I bought it. I am only selling it because I have accomplished all that I wanted to with it. It has been featured in Hot VWs magazine (January 2007 pages 78 through 81), it has run in the 12?s, and can be driven anywhere on the street. I have a new project to focus on, a 1959 Beetle convertible, and so I am choosing to sell my ?56 to finance the ?59. Here are the details:
Overall:
1956 Beetle body on a 1966 pan. Body is an original sunroof model- the roof was not grafted in. It sits on a 1966 pan due to the ball joint front suspension that has superior handling as compared to a king and link pin, and is easier to work on. Plus this is the pan that came with the car when I bought it. Car is therefore licensed as a 1966 and has the ownership reflecting such.
Everything on this car is new. Read on for specific details about each component.
Body:
The main body, hood, and decklid were all acid dipped to remove all paint, filler, and rust. New pieces welded in include the rear bumper mounts, body mounts, lower quarter panels, driver?s side front door post, and rear heater channel section on the passenger side. New windshield, original Sekurit glass in all other windows. Pop-out windows were installed with new glass to frame rubber and new frame to body seals. New rubber around all other windows with new stainless molding. All of this came from Wolfsburg West. New stainless side and hood molding as well. New hood handle with new locking decklid handle. NOS passenger door handle, and original drivers door handle keyed to match the ignition. Aluminum running boards. All 4 fenders are aftermarket and the fronts have had the bullet turnsignals welded in. I measured off a friends original front fenders and assure you they are in the correct spot. Conduit is in place for the headlight wires and was bought from Wolfsburg West when it was available. Rear fenders had all holes migged closed and I drilled new holes so the taillights would be in the correct position as measured from an original oval. Doors line up really well when shut and the gap is uniform. Vent window frames were rechromed. Sunroof has all new rollers from Wolfsburg West and original Golde handle which has not yet been rechromed. NOS wipers where the arms and blades are one piece. Hood is a newer hood with the 4 tab section grafted in. It is stronger than an original 4 tab hood and does not twist when the hood it propped open on just the drivers side. Flames are painted under the front hood. Underside of the hood handle and the hood latch have all been chromed. Aftermarket apron with the H section grafted in and filled in exhaust holes. Aluminum T-Bars by Craig Parks replace the bumpers. W decklid has flames painted on the inside and has conduit for the wire to run through for the license plate light. It also has a clear plastic lense on the backside of the license plate light. Decklid has a one piece aluminum standoff for increased cooling and airflow for the turbo. Vents under the rear window received ample amounts of paint. Fenders have new fender beading and are held in place with stainless Allen head bolts. Fender beading in the front is held in place under the front lip with aluminum clips. Fenders were fitted with the running boards in place and cut and spliced so that the gaps are uniform front and rear between the running boards and the fenders.
Pan:
The 1966 pan was sandblasted and painted with a tan urethane. One rust hole was patched. Has new floors on both sides that were replaced before I bought the car. The clutch cable tube has been reinforced in the 3 spots, and 2 fuel lines run through the tunnel. It has an access hole behind the carpet at the front for easy clutch cable replacement. All the washers that go between the bolts and the pan to secure the body have been chromed and the bolts are stainless Allen head. It has a Gene Berg mid mount for the 091 transaxle welded in place. New body to pan seal, new rubber everywhere on the pan (where battery cable exits, brake lines enter and exit, clutch cable and throttle cable exit, etc).
Suspension:
Narrowed front beam 3.75? with avis adjusters. New ball joints, new torsion arm to beam seals, CB Performance front disk brake kit with 2.5? dropped spindles. All painted a light beige. New TRW steering box, new tie rod ends, urethane steering coupler. Rear suspension has Sway A Way adjustable spring plates, Jaycee aluminum spring plate retainers, 28mm Sway a Way torsion bars, CB Performance disk brake kit with e-brake. Transaxle is an 091 6 rib case built by Rancho. See specs below. Transaxle is painted light beige to match front suspension. It uses a Gene Berg solid rear mount to mount it to the frame horns. Rear suspension uses Airspeed limit straps. Competiton Engineering shocks on all 4 corners (90-10 in front and 60-40 in the rear). All brake lines are new, with stainless braided flex lines. Master cylinder is a dual circuit with a Volvo reservoir mounted on it. TCI roll control (line lock) and Wilwood proportioning valve are used for the front brakes, and both front and rear use 2lb Wilwood residual pressure valves. Front and rear alignment have been professionally done on a rack. Calipers have been painted black on all 4 corners, and the outside lips of all 4 rotors were painted silver to resist rusting. Wheels are MWS BRM replicas, all 15? by 5.5?. Front tires are Yokohama 185/55/R15 and rear street tires are Yokohama 205/65/15. Spare tire in the front is a 145. Race tires are M&H DOT slicks mounted on MWS rims. In all there are 7 rims with this car. All tires are mounted so that the center letter of the manufacturer is lined up with the valve stem.
Interior:
Headliner professionally installed, and made by Wolfsburg West. Carpet and door panels are from Sewfine. Front seats are from Driver FX, and rear seat is original, reupholstered to match the front seats. Seat belts are only located in the front and are new Simpson 4 point cam-lock units. Roll bar is from Ron Lummus Racing and is powdercoated. It has the frame tie-ins in the rear and both door bars. Seat brackets are stock, modified with square tubing to sit lower and hold the aftermarket seats. Shifter is from Gene Berg, with line lock button mounted on it. Dash has radio hole filled in and now holds 3 Stewart Warner gauges- oil pressure, oil temperature, and boost. One-off, custom polished aluminum tach bracket holds a matching Stewart Warner tachometer with memory and shift light. Steering wheel is a Flat-4 Empi reproduction unit. Turn signal mount has been polished. All dash knobs, and window crank knobs are aluminum. Inner door handles have been rechromed. Battery box is a stainless steel unit from Rob Roetman holding an Optima red-top battery- one of only about 15 built by Rob. Fuse block is from Watson?s Streetworks and is located under the back seat on the driver?s side. It is mounted to an aluminum panel beside the CB Performance EFI ECU. All wires run through the heater channel to under the front hood.
Engine:
Powdercoated tin, polished throttle bodies, intake manifolds, sump, turbo body. Ceramic coated exhaust, turbo, turbo duct work. Read specs section for all the details. It is not over-the-top and only requires routine maintenance such as regular oil changes and routine valve adjustments. EFI is laptop programmable.
