1963 VW Beetle Convertible For Sale



This Illinois based 1963 Convertible is an absolute stunner.
Top to bottom award winning restoration.
All stock and proper...extremely beautiful and accurately done.


I love the color combination and the thin whitewalls on the stock steel wheels with detailed caps and trim rings.



It is showroom fresh looking from all angles.


The car has been driven about 6000 miles since completion of the restoration
and the condition remains stellar.


Very nice finish quality.


Engine runs superb and is very well detailed.
The electrics are still 6 volt as original.
The correct original distributor is included with the sale and the temporary temperature gauge
has now been removed (its running great and keeping cool)



The car shows 65,000 miles and change on the odometer.
The current owner is number three in the short list of past owners...the first owning it from new to 1985.
