Description of 1965 Volkswagen Beetle - Classic

~ 53 year old Pearl White vintage Volkswagen Beetle sedan with gorgeous, entirely original (not reproduction) "salt/pepper" red interior. If you are in search of a super nice unmodified 60's Beetle, this car is worthy of consideration. Seeing is believing..This is a very nice Beetle with an intriguing history... Car spent 22 years carefully preserved and stored on jackstands under neatly placed sheets, blankets and quilts, fluids drained, upon original owner's safe return from Vietnam. Stored, but far from forgotten...Bone stock, garage kept, Orange County (Southern California) car. This is a very thoroughly documented, matching numbers/ California original black plate car, meaning it has never been registered outside of the state of California. Hence condition. *Note only rear plate having been installed, part of history mentioned... The original owner was a renegade, as California requires both front and rear plates be displayed, and felt the addition of the (front) plate disturbed the lines on his car. The virgin plate remains mint inside the original California DMV issued Manila envelope. *Included with the car are a series of original period snapshot photos to substantiate this.Senior owned, never modified. 113,000 miles (2,132 miles per year accumulated average).
Includes thorough/neatly collated maintenance log and dealer documentation dating back to delivery.Purchased new at Kendon Motors, 1241 Pacific Coast Highway in Harbor City, California on February 27th, 1965.
Car received a careful glass out, very high quality, trim removed, (exterior only) original Pearl White respray close to twenty years ago and finish remains essentially flawless to date. Once again, the interior of this car remains entirely original, including factory original paint.There is an approximate two inch seam separation in the bottom drivers seat and one of similar length in the passenger rear seat. Not torn, simply split.Having been garage kept, the car has been subject to minimal UV exposure /excessive ambient temperature throughout its entire Life.
Incredibly well preserved, not a restored car.Seat belts have been added. Intoxicating therapeutic original VW aroma.The car has absolutely stellar shut lines throughout. Very air tight. Doors shut with a distinctive/ teutonic VW thunk...ENTIRELY fresh brake components front to rear (documented) within past 100 miles as well as various fresh front end suspension components. Once again, receipts for all work included.
Original selling dealer optional Blaupunkt AM/FM/Shortwave radio with Blaupunkt (fader controlled) front/rear luggage area speaker. Factory pamphlet included. Produces faint sound and lights up, but not currently audible.Original, not reproduction, Bambus under dash very functional parcel tray and period accessory fold down sun visor included.*The car absolutely runs and drives as well as it presents. Quiet... The way, in my opinion, a good original '60's Volkswagen Beetle should operate. Quite content at 60-65 mph freeway speed. Hands off wheel, tracks arrow straight.Shown by appointment only. Private owner. Car is registered and titled in my name.Being offered merely due to relocation/sale of house.
