1965 VW Beetle Convertible For Sale


This sweet champagne Beetle Convertible is located in Southern California
and is a very clean and solid car with an excellent look and style.


Uncommon color choice, but one that really suits the car well and when accented with the nave blue
top and interior details, it really has a classy look.  
The car is not a show car, but a very clean driver.


The blue and tan tweed interior is super cool.
Looks like all the weather stripping and body seals are in nice shape as well.


Gene Berg locking shifter is a tasty item to see in here.
The carpet is in good condition but is loosely fitted.
 

Nice two tone upholstery, matching canvas top boot.


Clean dash with locking glove box door and radio delete plate.
Clean restored steering wheel, everything looks very clean and tidy.


Car appears to be a late 65 build as it has the central defroster vent for the 66 model.


Interior looks quite nice.


Bumpers look to be aftermarket replacements in very good condition.


Car sits nicely with a slightly lowered stance, but not slammed.
The front beam is a 3 1/2" adjustable unit with added disc front brakes
which puts the wheels in a very good spot within the fender well.
The rear is lowered a bit as well with special adjustable spring plates.


Front turn signals are shaved smooth but all other factory trim and lighting remain in place.


Chrome wide 5  Empi style 5 spoke wheels are wrapped with 145-15" up front and 205/65R15 rubber out back.


Paint and body look very clean and in good shape.


A top-up shot from the front.


Top is a very nice blue stayfast canvas!


The heart of the machine is a well built and tuned 1776cc dual port engine with a single two barrel Weber 44 IDF carburetor.
Hydraulic lifters are a great upgrade, as the valves are self adjusting.
12 volt electrics with alternator, chrome 009 distributor and aluminum crank pulley.


The engine runs strong and it is a very fun driver.




Good rubber on all four corners










Underside shots show the car to be solid and pretty clean.


Good pans


Good support rails




Very sound and solid!


Nice!


Under the front hood is a matching wheel and tire.


Under the carpet kit it looks pretty tidy as well
Nice wiring, new fuel tank, all quite clean.


Looks very straight on the sides of the spare tire well


Some signs of a little metal work along the bottom of the apron, but very solid
and this is all covered when the spare wheel is in place.


Its a sweet ride


I love this one for many reasons.
Firstly its a convertible and they are  just so much fun.
Secondly the color combination is very unique and attractive
Thirdly it is clean enough to be proud of but not so perfect that you would be afraid to use it.
Nice upgrades with performance and brakes, tasteful stance, quality parts, etc etc.
Its a fun ride that is ready for its next home.

SOLD!
