Description:

This 1969 Volkswagen Porsche 959 Tribute Roadster is a one-of-a-kind custom build, blending the iconic Porsche 959 aerodynamics with the open-air thrills of a roadster. Starting life as a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle, this car has been heavily modified for both performance and appearance, featuring numerous upgrades and custom features throughout. It’s a wild combination that’s guaranteed to turn heads wherever it goes.

Exterior Features:

• Finished in Guards Red, the same color used on the original 959, this tribute carries that bold Porsche look with style.
• Custom front fascia with open vents, reminiscent of the 959’s aerodynamic features.
• Cosmetic vents and bodywork inspired by the 959’s functional ducts, perfect for car shows and striking looks.
• Rear tonneau shell inspired by the Porsche Speedster, which also acts as a fairing due to the low seating position.
• Integrated rear wing with taillights and reflector forming a continuous red band.
• Dual exhaust exiting below the rear bumper.
• 17-inch Porsche-style wheels and rear quarter intake ports that are functional and visually stunning.
• A few minor cosmetic imperfections, including some scuffs under the chin, a small paint chip, and some paint overspray near one of the side ports.

Interior Features:

• Simple, custom black vinyl door cards with stitched patterns and corner speaker boxes.
• Red-stitched black vinyl bucket seats inspired by the Porsche 550 seats, with a headrest attached to the rear wall.
• Wood-rimmed, 3-spoke steering wheel featuring the Porsche crest.
• Faux carbon fiber panel housing chrome-rimmed AutoMeter gauges for a stylish, performance-focused look.
• Touchscreen radio with Bluetooth and a backup camera embedded cleanly into the dash.
• Empi short shifter mounted on the floor, complemented by a well-maintained black carpet.

Drivetrain:

• Powered by a Scat 1835cc flat 4-cylinder engine with a 110 cam, F40 heads, and dual Weber 44 IDF 1-barrel carburetors.
• The Freeway Flyer close ratio 4-speed manual transmission and 4.120 gears deliver spirited performance.
• Equipped with disc brakes on all four wheels for superior stopping power, just like the real Porsche 959.

Undercarriage:

• Flat belly pan in excellent condition, contributing to a clean and polished look.
• Bright red brakes, axles, and shocks for added visual appeal.
• Gold pushrod tubes on the engine, giving the undercarriage a unique touch.
• Trombone-shaped exhaust headers leading to a stock-style muffler with stainless pipes and chrome tips.
• Clean CV boots, sway bar bushings, and other suspension components.
• Transverse torsion bar in the front and swing axle rear independent suspension with Koni adjustable shocks at all four corners.

Drive-Ability:

• The car offers a light, responsive feel with plenty of pep, handling very well on the road.
• While it may not reach 200mph, the gauges and functions work perfectly, ensuring you know exactly what the engine is doing at all times.
