Vehicle Description

1956 VW Beetle “Oval Window” – Safari Windows, Disc Brakes, Freeway Flyer!

Up for sale is a solid 1956 Oval Window Beetle – a head-turning driver with great bones. Not a trailer queen, but definitely something you can enjoy right now and take to the next level.


It’s the only Oval window on eBay under $20k.

Engine:
  • 1641cc engine

  • 32/36 two-barrel carb

  • 90-amp alternator

  • Electronic distributor

  • Stainless steel sidewinder exhaust

  • Freeway Flyer transaxle – shifts clean with no pop-outs or grinds

  • Runs good as you can see/hear in the videos, but I think the new carb could be dialed in to make it even better


Suspension, Brakes, and Wheels:
  • IRS Pan that has been upgraded with four-wheel disc brakes – stops great

  • Valley Auto Werks narrowed front beam

  • 17" Fuchs-style wheels

  • Steering is tight and responsive


Body & Exterior:
  • Front & rear safari windows + side pop-outs

  • The pans, heater channels, and spare tire area are solid. The pans aren’t show-quality—there’s some peeling undercoating and light surface rust in spots (see photos)—but structurally, they’re sound and don’t need repair/replacement

  • Paint is driver quality – shows well, but has some imperfections

  • Bumpers have a couple small dings
