Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this INCREDIBLE work of art, a 1966 Volkswagon Beetle Rat Rod. Over 4 years and countless hours of detailed focus into this build. We scour the country for vintage cars and trucks like this and we rarely come across one like this! You must see and drive this crowd drawing rat rod!
HISTORY:
“A rat rod is a style of hot rod or custom car that, in most cases, imitates (or exaggerates) the early hot rods of the 1940s, 1950s, and early-1960s. The style is not to be confused with the somewhat closely related "traditional" hot rod, which is an accurate re-creation or period-correct restoration of a hot rod from the same era. Most rat rods appear "unfinished", regardless of their status, as only the vehicle's bare essentials are driven. These are built to drive, not exclusively for show.”-Wikipedia
