Reece Reynolds's 1967 VW Beetle is one of his first classic cars. "It really got me into the old school builds," he mentions. It's laid-out on full air ride suspension and really gets going with the bored/stroked/forged 1916cc engine built from the ground up!

FAVORITE MODIFICATION
"The 1916cc engine built for this car is by far my favorite modification. Being able to do highway speeds, over-take people and wind this baby off the clock sure pulls some funny looks when driving a 50 year old Beetle."
