Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.5) based on 394 votes
In 1970 a Southern California Pin Stripe artist named Chuck Babbitt aka "Shaky Jake" set out to create the pinnacle of custom show VW beetles. He started with a solid 1949 split window roof and proceeded to purchase a brand new Bug. From there it went to Neil Emory's shop to have a total makeover. Chuck had a vision and the car was dubbed Shaky's Masterpiece. This car when completed won every Bug in it was ever entered in! The car was re done in the late 2000's and was stripped. re painted and a host of new additions were added. The interior was re done in modern materials. Scat pro Car seats installed and a host of billet accessories and a new 1776 dual Weber motor brought the car up to todays standards. When the current owner bought the car in 2011 new dics brakes and spindles were added to make this car a driveable work of art!  All systems have been checked and re worked to function correctly. Something that was lacking when the car was purchased. The new motor has under 1000 miles on it and a deep sump oil pan and oil breather system were added to keep "Shaky" leak free. Over all the car is 9. 8 out of 10 from being perfect. The car has an Alpine sound system with 2 amps and Boston Ascoustic speakers. The car features many custom modifications such as flared fenders. functional scoops. '49 roof. Cut Glass motif on the glass. Custom louvered deck lid. complete chromed out engine. engine turned stainless steel firewal and dash. VDO guages. Sunroof. Budnick Billet wheels. Powdercoated and chromed suspension. Gas door elimination. custom GM side view mirrors. custom paint and pinstripping. custom exhaust. This car turns heads where ever it is driven. The car currently has only 17. 94 original miles! Own a piece of history. Car cover is included with the car. The car has basically sat covered in a garage for 2 years and it is time for someone else who will show the car again to enjoy this masterpiece.
