1965 Chop Top Beetle Sedan For Sale



This is a seriously cool Beetle.
There is something almost sinister about a black chop top...and this one has the right attitude.


Great flow to the roofline...looks very natural


The BRM wheels and classic Cal Looker stance...nice


W decklid offers a nice design element to the back and the small frenched in type taillights are cool too.
Very very smooth.


Nice quality workmanship throughout.
This car was apparantly built here in So Cal a number of years ago and it was an award winner at the shows.
Now it is in the hands of a fellow in Newport Beach who cruises the coast with it now and then, keeps it garaged
and properly detailed and tuned...it's living the good life to be sure.


Nice pinstripe designs in subtle spots, paint finish is very smooth


No bumpers for that ultra-smooth look.
Stock style headlights, when originally built it had the Rossi style lights in it
(these are included in the sale)


Under the front hood is clean and detailed with some nice custom touches.


Custom trimmed wiring cover


Billet aluminum hood hinges with struts instead of springs


Fuel tank is detailes...fuel gauge sender hole blocked with emblem


Good spare


Well detailed and straight in the spare tire well


Nice and clean


Under the hood is good too


A quality done car.


Engine is a well built and detailed mild 1641cc engine that runs like a top.


Engine compartment is nice and clean


Latch detail


Chrome hinges and spring


Clean detailing and lots of special little billet goodies and stainless braided lines


Dual solex carbs are great...nice little boost in performance but still decent fuel mileage


Engine is pretty clean underneath as well


A little dust from the road...but underneath it is tidy!


Floor pans are excellent


Very very clean


Front end is good and was obviously all redone at the time of the build


Disc brakes are a very nice addition.


Steering is controlled by this wild octagon steering wheel!


Billet aluminum steering column bracket, pedal covers and roller pedal.


Seats are very comfortable and look great.


Rear area is all carpet and a speaker box.


Headliner is well fitted.
Billet aluminum rear view mirror.
No sunvisors... no room for em in a chop top!


Cool custom speedometer


Billet knobs.
Radio is in the glove box


Nicely fit carpet set...cool billet shift knob and custom boot


Polished door sills are a nice touch


Here's one of the Rossi lights that were on the car when first built...I'd be tempted to put em back myself.


Great looking with any headlights though...neat car!


Glass is all well done


Door windows are smoothed out...no glass.


Snaps on the inside help with that in bad weather...


Very nicely done snap in side curtains keep the weather out.
(of course here in So Cal...these rarely see use)


Side curtain in place...


Rear windows are tinted dark


BRM wheels with custom center caps and excellent tires


Cool taillights


Love that view inside


Fronts


In closing this is a very very well done custom, that is mild and wild at the same time.
Great stance and attitude, very strong runner and driver, and one screaming deal for the money.
