1965 Volkswagen Beetle Unknown

One of the 20th Century's truly great automobiles, the Volkswagen 'Beetle' transcended its origins as the German 'people's car', going on to become an all-time best-seller and cult classic. Originally conceived by Dr. Ferdinand Porsche, the Volkswagen inspired unusual loyalty and enthusiasm based on its practicality, reliability, adaptability and affordability. The Volkswagen's layout was the essence of practicality. It was a remarkably well thought out concept, meeting a number of difficult challenges and it proved, in terms of its impact on automobile design and acceptance, comparable to Henry Ford's Model T. Visual changes during the model's long run were subtle, but the most desirable models are always the pre-1968 'small bumper' cars, which retain the visual flavor and charm of the originals but which benefit from moderately increased displacement, rendering them more usable in modern traffic. This car, a desirable 1965 model, has been the subject of a full restoration carried out approx 6 years ago, and consequently presents very well both in and out. Fitted with a period radio, the interior retains its original charm, orig 1200cc 40hp engine, upgraded with merged header and quiet pack muffler for increased performance and fuel economy, heater and defroster operate perfectly as does electrical system, rebuilt 6V system new wiring as well. and operates like new! This Beetle drives nicely, cruises all day at 65mph and will make a great introductory classic for the new collector. Sold with a clean and clear California Certificate of Title. very well restored car. Out of state or Export buyers I can help with shipping and transport arraignments.
