Other Other description

Straight out of the 70's, full fiberglass body VW trike. Pearl orange (2009 Corvette paint color) with full out glitter seats and a decent amount of chrome.

Titled and registered in MD as a 1978 custom VIN with M/C street rod tag. Trike originated as a Stiers trike kit and has, by the engine numbers, a 1966 VW drivetrain; upgraded from the original 1300cc to 1500cc, single port with PICT 2 carb, 009 distributor, and the original 4-speed swing axle transaxle. Recently installed all new foot controls with Kury offset pegs, converting to hydraulic clutch and added new brake hydraulics from master cylinder through braided steel lines back. Still running the original style VW drum brakes in the back. Although it has gauges filling the holes, none are functional. All lights and turn signals work as required.

New controls are adjustable for those with shorter inseam -- I currently have it set up as long and low as I can get it because of my height, but I can adjust and set it up for your desired positioning.

Included, at full price, are all the VW spare parts, repair manual, and anything I have related to the trike. This also includes a pair of 14" aluminum slotted rims and the matching bolt pattern adapters.

Absolute blast to drive, and yes, it will yank the front end in the air with ease.
