VW Beetle + Chrysler Regal - Phil's Picks
When he’s not making sure the underside of his Torana is cleaner than the primary mirror of the hubble space telescope, Uncle Phil can usually be found sniffing out a bargain
1969 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE - $22,000
You can't swing a cat in the Unique Cars office without leaving a Vee Dub fan with a face full of fur but I’m not really much of a dak-dak devotee, preferring instead a bit of good old V8 grunt. Despite that, I’ve never been one to turn down the right vehicle at the right price and this ’69 Bug looks the part and $22k is a reasonable ask given the amount of work that’s clearly gone into it. With less than 28,000 miles on the odo, a reupholstered cabin, a full respray and rust removal job, and some nice little restomod details like uprated seatbelts, lights and disc front brakes, this one’s a gem.
1979 CHRYSLER REGAL CM - $27,650
Who doesn't love a sleeper? Okay, so the plate on this Regal defeats the object a bit if you’re after genuine sub-12 sub rosa, but other than that, there’s not a lot wrong with grandad-spec beige and a 408ci crate lump. It’s been breathed on with Pacemaker performance extractors, a twin 2.5 inch exhaust system, strengthened gearbox and diff and some four-barrel double-pumper carbie action. Leaving supercars for dead at the lights just never gets old.
