1959 Volkswagen Transporter Single-cab Restomod
1959 Volkswagen Transporter Single-cab Pickup Restomod
• PPG Sealing Wax Red exterior (L53)
• Scat Enterprises custom-built engine with dual 40 Weber IDF carburetors and Weber intake with Cima/Mahle pistons and Compu-Fire electronic ignition
• Albatross lowered Type 2 front beam and rear dropped spring plates
• EMPI five-spoke wheels, front CSP Wide-5 disc brakes
• Interior by Joe’s Upholstery
• Hella headlights and VDO gauges
Made in August 1959 in Volkswagen’s Hanover, West Germany factory, this pickup now sports a PPG Sealing Wax Red exterior (L53). The paint and trim are in overall excellent condition. The body is straight and solid, the chrome bumpers fit tightly to the body and look great. Above the front bumper are a pair of Hella headlights. The engine bay is extremely tidy and the cargo area is in fine shape. The owner can keep the side walls and tailgate up for a traditional but larger pickup box or all three sides can be lowered for easier loading and unloading.
This truck rides on staggered radials, size 135R15 in front, and Kelly Chargers out back, size 205/65R15. Each tire is mounted to an EMPI five-spoke alloy wheel. The wheels and tires are all in very good order. The front brakes have been upgraded to CSP Wide-5 discs at every wheel.
Out back and under the cargo bed is a custom-built, flat, air-cooled four-cylinder engine from Scat Enterprises in Redondo Beach, California. The engine has 7.5:1 compression, 4340 steel I-beam rods, dual Weber IDF carburetors, a Weber intake manifold, Cima/Mahle pistons and a Compu-Fire electronic ignition.
Inside, the black bench seat has been redone a by Joe’s Upholstery. It looks fantastic and offers good contrast to the red metal portions of the cabin. There’s no carpet; black floormats are in place instead. A two-spoke, white steering wheel provides its own contrast to the red metal instrument panel which has a VDO speedometer. A floor-mounted shifter completes the interior.
