Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas
1250 Mustang Drive
Grapevine, TX 76051
Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is excited to offer This beautifully restored 1969 Volkswagen Beetle, finished in its factory-correct Diamond Blue and packed with tasteful upgrades that perfectly blend vintage charm with modern drivability. Freshly repainted in its original color, this iconic Beetle captures the unmistakable personality that made the Beetle a worldwide legend, while the black powder-coated trim and handles add a clean custom contrast that gives this classic VW a sharper, more aggressive presence.
Inside, the cabin has been thoughtfully refreshed with a host of quality upgrades designed to make every drive more enjoyable. New EMPI seats with removable headrests provide improved comfort while maintaining the classic air-cooled vibe. A fresh dash, new ISP Speedometer and fuel gauge, and a sporty EMPI Trigger shifter modernize the driving experience without taking away from the Beetle's timeless simplicity. The upgraded EMPI steering wheel adds a perfect finishing touch to the interior.
This Beetle also delivers impressive comfort and entertainment features rarely found in classic Volkswagens. A Retrosounds Bluetooth radio allows you to stream your favorite music while cruising, powered through upgraded 6.5-inch front speakers, 6x9 rear speakers, an amplifier, and a custom subwoofer enclosure mounted neatly behind the rear seat. Ceramic window tint helps keep the cabin cool while adding a sleek appearance.
Underneath, this Beetle has been extensively upgraded for improved handling and stopping power. A New AirKewld 4-inch narrowed adjustable beam gives the car an aggressive lowered stance while maintaining drivability, paired with new shocks all around for a smoother ride. Four-wheel disc brakes dramatically improve braking confidence, while the upgraded blade-style fuse panel enhances reliability for modern driving.
Power comes from a classic 1600cc single-port air-cooled engine mated to its stock transmission, featuring the desirable and increasingly rare swing axle setup. This Beetle retains the unmistakable sound and feel that VW enthusiasts love while benefiting from thoughtful upgrades throughout. LED headlights with integrated running lights and switchback turn signals, along with LED taillights, improve visibility and add a modern touch without overpowering the classic styling.
