1969 VW Bug

When selecting the best parts for a VW build, what key elements are you looking for? We asked Luis Martinez this question for his 1969 VW Bug, and here’s what he had to say: 

“Power, stability, and reliability are the three things I look for when choosing the right engine components for my classic VW Bug projects. Thanks to SCAT, my dreams became a reality! When in competition or just cruising around I choose parts from SCAT, a name I tell everyone about! Thank you!

Martinez chose a 1600cc SCAT long block engine for his 1969 VW Bug.

Here at SCAT VW, we are proud to provide the best-quality parts to our customers and love when they show them off to other VW enthusiasts.
