I am the third owner of this 1965 Beetle. This is a daily driver. The Beetle was purchased in Sonora, a. and stayed there until I brought it to Southern Cal. It has a newly rebuilt 40 HP engine, eriod correct, ay be original matching number engine, have not verified through VW yet. Brand new tranny. Completely restored interior: all seats reupholstered, rand new carpet and mats, eadliner, nd panels. No rust. The pan is clean and protected with the best protection available. This is a stock, lean looking beetle and it gets more thumbs up throughout the day then my bus did. I had the engine tin powder coated when the engine rebuild was going on so it looks real clean. Gas tank has been completely cleaned and restored. Still has it's original license plate. New tires.
