Shop air-cooled VW parts for Beetles, Buses, Ghias, and Type 3s. Automotive Remains LLC stocks engines, wheels, brakes, exhaust, suspension, and electrical components, plus custom and hard-to-find pieces we fabricate in-house. Whether you are doing a quick repair or sourcing every part for a full restoration, browse the categories below or use search to find air-cooled VW parts for your specific build.

Engines and drivetrain

Need a complete motor? We build turnkey air-cooled VW engines in-house, from 1600cc up to 2387cc, assembled and tested before they ship. Every engine we sell in the shop is ready to install, so you’re not gambling on a long block that’s never been run. We also carry drivetrain and manual transmission components for rebuilds and upgrades.

Wheels, brakes, and suspension

Our air-cooled VW parts inventory includes stock replacement wheels alongside custom powder-coated wheel setups, narrowed beams, and suspension components for builds ranging from a mild refresh to a full custom stance. Brake parts cover common repairs for daily drivers as well as upgraded setups for performance builds. If you shop air-cooled VW parts here regularly, you’ll notice we keep both stock and custom options in stock side by side.

Exhaust and electrical

We stock exhaust systems and mufflers for air-cooled VW engines, along with ignition and electrical components to keep your build running reliably. If you’re not sure which exhaust or electrical parts fit your model year, reach out before you order and we’ll help you confirm fitment.

Custom and hard-to-find parts

Can’t find the exact air-cooled VW part you need in the shop? We regularly source and fabricate parts that aren’t listed yet, from narrowed beams to custom powder-coated wheels. Where we can’t find parts that meet our standards, we make them ourselves, so you can shop air-cooled VW parts here instead of chasing down a specialty fabricator on your own. Contact us with your chassis details and we’ll help you track it down.

Why shop with us

Automotive Remains LLC sources high-quality materials and builds engines in-house rather than outsourcing them, so we can stand behind what leaves our shop. Whether you’re doing a single repair or sourcing air-cooled VW parts for a full frame-off restoration, our inventory is built to cover the whole car instead of just the easy-to-find pieces.

Shipping and fitment

Orders are processed within 1-2 business days and shipped via UPS, USPS, or Cargo Freight depending on order size. We ship across the USA and to Canada, Mexico, and Brazil. Full details, including our return policy, are on our shipping and returns policy page.

Air-cooled VW parts aren’t always interchangeable across years and models, so double-check fitment against your chassis number before ordering. Questions about a specific part? Contact us and we’ll help you confirm it fits before you buy.

Browsing tips

Use the category menu to narrow results by system – engines, wheels, brakes, exhaust, suspension, or electrical – or search by part name if you already know what you need. Each product listing includes the specs we have on hand; if a spec you need isn’t listed, ask us before ordering so we can confirm it fits your air-cooled VW. New arrivals get added to the shop as we finish sourcing or building them, so it is worth checking back if you don’t see what you need today.

Automotive Remains LLC is based in Weeki Wachee, Florida, and our team is available Monday through Saturday, 9am to 5pm, to help you shop air-cooled VW parts with confidence. If you’d rather talk through your build before ordering, email info@automotiveremainsllc.com or check our Contact Us page.
