1956 Volkswagen Beetle - Classic, Aircooled, Disc Brakes, 1641cc, Safari Windows













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
