I hope that VW is 12 volt and has AC.
12v yes. AC? She'll do 75 purring like a sewing machine with the windows down to the end of the Earth and back. If it's cold outside then there's your AC

I hope that VW is 12 volt and has AC.
I bought it in Baltimore on spring break in college and have driven it all over the country from Baltimore to NYC and Jersey shore then down to South Carolina and back up to Chicago and then from Chicago to Key West and back and then from Tucson to Huntington Beach and back.

1963 VW on smoothies
1600dp with full bolt ons from CB Performance.
I bought it in Baltimore on spring break in college and have driven it all over the country from Baltimore to NYC and Jersey shore then down to South Carolina and back up to Chicago and then from Chicago to Key West and back and then from Tucson to Huntington Beach and back. So it's been from coast to coast. Did almost a full resto last year with a parts list a mile long all new chrome all new wires and bulbs all bolt ons from long block up new trans with taller gears, tri mill exhaust etc. She's my baby and my first born. Before the wife and kids and dogs. Tons of other toys and vws have came and gone but I'll ride out into the sunset in this one.

Good lord.. that is sweet. If only it could talk and share stories about where itās beenā¦
There were two ā63ās that passed through my life. Owned neither. Both were the same color as yours with a red interior. At least they started that way.
My brother had a bone stock, fully restored ā63 for about a week. Long story but the short version is the guy he bought it from must have not have realized what he had and conjured a story about misunderstanding on the purchase price⦠who would let a teen aged buyer take a mint ā63 home without a clear understanding as to the purchase price? Anyway, my brother had to give it back.
Good friend of mine just hacked up a ā63 into a wide body with a worked mid-engine mounted 2.0 16v with dual side drafts. Fuchās wheels. Caged interior. And of course, sporting a Herbie paint job and all the 53ās. Few know Herbie was a ā63. Iāll see if I can find his Instagram page.
I had a mint ā71 Kharmann Ghia that I sold for a Triumph TR8.. Regret selling both of them.
Mine has the red or oxblood interior. My favorite part about owning the car is the stories I get from everybody else sharing memories. And obviously the ones I've made with it.
Those are nice. Are those 15x8? Whatās the backspacing on them?
17" ICON Rebound in Titanium wrapped with 35" Duratracs.

did you have to run a spacer with these?
I have to run a 4x4.5 to 4x5 adapter. It is 1.25ā thick
Iām thinking about getting these except in the tj bolt pattern and just running a 1 inch spacer
Whatās the backspacing on the TJ bolt pattern? I donāt remember them having the TJ bolt pattern in a 17ā when I ordered them a few years ago.
They are starting to show some wear, but still hanging in there.
