Deer Valley, AZ 85027
Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is honored to present for sale, on consignment, this absolutely bonkers 1966 Volkswagen Beetle. This 57 oval window body was mounted to a 1966 pan because the original 57 pan was too far gone. What happened after the body and pan were married has resulted in a very clean and well executed extreme build.
Tucked neatly in the rear of this beetle is a CB Performance Turbocharged, Fuel Injected 2387cc engine, the owner states that its making 382hp on a modest tune! This engine was pulled and refreshed to specifications in the summer of 2023. A quick visit to CB Performances website will provide you with the details on the engine. A Rancho Racing Bus Transmission with the U-Joint conversion and posi-traction was installed to handle the added power. The transmission tunnel has been modified to fit the larger bus transmission. A new wiring harness was installed as well as disc brakes on all 4 corners.
The Ford Tangerine paint job accompanies the tan Simpson Racing seats, tan leather tweed interior, reupholstered tan leather rear seat, tan painted 6 point rollcage and tan engine shroud resulting in a stunning presentation. This is an original rag top car and the top has been reupholstered as well. New tires were installed in the summer of 2023 making this car ready to hit the road or the strip.
The opportunity to pick up a well planned and executed build on an orignal rag top, oval window beetle doesnt present itself too often. Dont sleep on the chance to own a stunning, one of a kind beetle. Contact our sales staff today for all the details.

Our Scottsdale showroom is Gateway Classic Cars’ 16th location and opened in September 2017. We are located in Phoenix, Arizona which is one of the fastest growing cities in the United States and our reputation as the ‘Valley of the Sun’ allows for a year-round car season and a perfect environment to preserve vintage automobiles. Scottsdale is known as the home of the famous Barrett Jackson auction that draws thousands of collectors and enthusiasts to the Phoenix area every year. Our large and growing inventory includes plenty of desirable ‘southwest cars’ that have not been exposed to road salt and inclement weather like in many other US locations. We encourage our local car clubs and enthusiasts to come check us out on the last Saturday of every month for our Cars and Coffee event and cruise around our awesome 42,000 square-foot, air conditioned showroom.
