1959 Volkswagen Single Cab Pickup Type 2 NO RUST
If you want to have fun driving an old truck, fast enough to keep up with freeway/highway traffic, strong enough to haul loads of gravel, mulch, furniture, etc and at the same time have people honking, giving you the peace sign or wanting to take photos of it ... then this 1959 VW Custom Single Cab is for you. New VW cross members and VW bed were installed during the restoration process. (pics available). The two colors are Porche Turbo Nordic Gold Metallic LM2Z & Carrara White LB9A and shows no wear or tear after 10 years of painting. The engine and freeway flyer were built in 2018 and have around 900 miles on them. Everything works except the gas guage, which is not hooked up. Why so few miles driven? It was in a temperature controlled storage for RVs for 20 months.
The Gene Berg shifter makes it nice along with it having a nice lowered stance but not slammed. The Porche disc brakes will stop you with ease and the 1835cc will let you cruise down any highway, freeway, interstate, or country road with smoothness. I took this on a 550 mile trip in June when temperatures in Southern California was breaking records wiith triple digits and then home across the Arizona desert in 100° temperatures. No problems keeping the engine cool with the custom doghouse fan shroud to accommodate the larger oil cooler.
