Herbie Fully Loaded

Herbie Fully Loaded - Owner : Tom Cuzzubbo

This is my 1966 Volkswagen Beetle, modeled after Herbie from the movie, "Herbie: Fully loaded." In Australia, VW Beetle models were not updated after 1963, so this 1966 body is exactly the same as the 1963 that appeared in the film. This VW has all the aspects of a 63' Beetle, from the narrow indicators, sloped headlights, right down to the nose lid.

This Bug has received a full restoration, involving the body and floor pans being sanded and painted. Sections of the vehicle that make contact with debris from the road, such as underneath the floor pans, underneath the fenders have a special textured finish to protect the bodywork. They also have rust protectant paint layered underneath. The '63 Bug has a brand new wiring loom setup, new wheels and axles and sway bars being serviced.

It wouldn't be a Herbie replica without all the important movie details! This Herbie has all the key features that make the "Fully Loaded Herbie" unique. These include, the angled eyelids, widened wheels, the custom graphics and the extremely rare 200mph speedometer. The speedometer was a defining feature in determining the difference between a replica or a tribute. The speedometer's rare value holds a strong place in the car.

Herbie also has a full custom interior which contains period correct colours and tones to the original VW interior colour palette. He also has a custom built 1915cc engine which has an estimated 120 horsepower, which is three times the original! From rag top to floor plan, this VW has received a complete restoration ensuring its life span triples, and will continue to make people smile for the next 50 years.
