EMPI

Since 1956, EMPI has been the most iconic name in the Volkswagen scene, and Appletree Automotive is your premier source for their entire catalog. Whether you are performing a concourse restoration on a '67 Beetle or building a 200hp sand rail, EMPI provides the "Engineered Motor Products" that have defined the air-cooled hobby for seven decades.

Step into the winner's circle with EMPI Performance Parts. From the legendary GTV-2 cylinder heads to high-flow merged exhaust systems, EMPI technology is rooted in Southern California’s drag racing and off-road history. At Appletree Automotive, we stock the performance components that give your engine the edge—including EPC carburetors, counterweighted cranks, and race-ready valvetrains. Don't just drive a classic; drive a legend 

Bringing a vintage VW back to life requires parts you can trust. EMPI's restoration line offers everything from factory-style bumpers and engine tin to the smallest trim clips. By choosing EMPI through Appletree Automotive, you're getting parts designed to match original factory blueprints. Finish your interior with a Trigger Shifter, bolt on a set of classic 8-spoke wheels, and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with using the industry's most trusted brand. 

When you're miles into the dunes, equipment failure isn't an option. EMPI Off-Road gear is built for the brutal vibration and heat of the desert. Appletree Automotive carries the full line of EMPI heavy-duty suspension, disc brake conversion kits, and high-torque starters.
