Chances are, when you think of the 1960s Volkswagen Beetle, you think of a simple people mover or perhaps something that has been lowered, has aftermarket wheels, and has either been re-painted or retains the original patina.  Street rod is probably the last thing that comes to mind, but that is exactly how we'd categorize today's Find of the Day.

Constructed during season 1 of Car Warriors on the Speed Channel, this 69 Beetle has seen extensive custom work on nearly every body panel.  A 2275cc motor was installed to ensure that performance matches the hot rod aesthetic, and Konig bucket seats keep passengers comfortable and planted while accommodating passengers up to 6'2" in height.
