1965 Turbo Bug

Karmann Ghia

Martin G. provided an update on his 1965 Turbo Bug that has a SCAT VW 1.5qt sump. Now that Martin updated his ride with new LED headlights, a new NRG Innovations steering wheel and a long bus shifter from EMPI, he has taken his VW for a ride for the first time in 12 years. The only other time he drove it was when he brought it home back in high school.

We love the look of this bare metal Bug!
