Performed by: Jim Karaba unless otherwise mentioned. Transmission:1965 type 1 transmission was sent out to TRANSFORM in the LBC. where it was fitted with a Cush-Loc clutch disc. Kennedy 1700 pound pressure plate. 4:37 ratio ring and pinion. and an aluminum short throw shift kit with a super diff and welded hubs. That’s about it for the major stuff. although there are TONS of other little custom things and features that have made this bug the magazine featured and award winning show car it is. From the Southwest Championship BUG-IN to the BIG BUG SHOOTOUT. to the multiple awards for BEST INTERIOR and BEST PAINT. this machine just can’t help but collect awards when it goes out! The car still looks and appears to be ready for a major show. and WE HAVE NOT EVEN DETAILED IT!!!!! This is how we got it. and all we have done is a quick wipe down with Turtle Wax quickshine. and a vacuum of the interior! Just imagine how freaking amazing it will look when you take the time to lay it out when you get it home!?!?!?!?! There are a handful or so really tiny marks on the painted finish from normal driving. like stone chips and stuff. but nothing major whatsoever. The body work is incredible. and shows wonderfully! It starts with ease. idles clean. and burbles so nice that EVERYONE will come over to ask what’s under the Cal-Look hood. It has a TON of power. and is one of the fastest VW’s I have had the chance to drive! It rivals a lot of the BECK 356 Replicas we get. and that’s understandable. given the racing history of Jim Karaba. It runs cool. doesn’t do anything funny. and is a high-revving machine ready to roar when you hit the gas. Ride quality is surprisingly good for how low it is. and I attribute that to the high quality components used and installation of them. Lights work. blinkers work. door buzzer works. and popper works. It is an absolute BLAST to drive. and will have everyone from 10 to 100 pulling out a cell phone to snap a pic when you drive by! Hell. it got 2. 00 likes on Instagram in a freaking HOUR one day! In the area? Come see it. If not. fly down here for a personal showing! I am willing to bet that the first person who comes here to see the truck in person will buy it. MILEAGE IS EXEMPT ON THE TITLE.
