1966 VW Beetle Sedan For Sale @ Oldbug.com



This is a really wonderful "survivor" 1966 Beetle Sedan with a fully known history back to day one.
The car was ordered under the European Delivery program by a Mr Norgard, who arranged delivery in Copenhagen Denmark
on June 1st 1966 , then travelled through his homeland and had the car shipped back to Los Angeles later in the year.


The car has remained in the Los Angeles area for nearly its whole life.
It was recently purchased from a long time owner in the Palm Springs area.
Always in a dry climate since new and the condition shows it clearly.
The paint appears to be all original, as does the interior, which is the rare fully red "Pigalle" combination!


The car has had a few bits replaced over the years such as the rear bumper and the engine, which is now a 1600cc.
But for the most part it has that perfect patina that a well preserved original car can have.


The rear luggage rack is a nice addition


Mechanically excellent and all the electricals work.


The rear bumper looks to have been replaed at some point and the chrome has aged a little.


Original paint on the wheels, small paint scuff on the passenger front fender, original paint still shines
and while not perfect, sure looks great. There is nothing that matches the finish and softness of a factory VW paint job.


Extremely solid car underneath




Perfect


This is the stuff that you dream of finding.




Spare wheel.


Under the hood


So nice to see it all original and untouched.




Clean and solid






ALL original glass..even the windshield


One little tweak right above the drivers side front overrider tube...should be pretty simple to flatten back out
if you wanted to give that a try.




Engine room looks great...all very stock in appearance


Case is a 1600cc, so it is not the "original" but it is a very nice upgrade over the 1300.


Excellent runner and driver, still 6 volt electrics.




Great looking car.




All original paint from what the owner tells us!
Seriously!!








Lots of original documentation!


All the manuals are here


First dealer stamp on US soil


Service stamp from the first service


Original delivery marks




So fun to have all this history!




The interior of this car is all red...from the rubber mats on up.
This special interior is referred to as "Pigalle" (not quite sure what that means)
but everything, from the seat frames to carpet, seat covers, door panels, etc...all red.
Very rare to find one with the red rubber mats in such impressive condition!


Dash is super clean and unmodified


Original Blaupunkt radio


Odometer reads 85,467 miles as of these photos.




Headliner is original and in good shape.




Some minor aging and sun fade to parts of the interior, but still very impressive.


I would be tempted to try to re-dye the seats here to give them that factory fresh look...but the preservationist in me applauds
the fact that they are left totally as original.




The paint has some mild fade through in spots like the top of the passenger rear fender.



It still holds a nice shine...just getting a bit thin in spots from a lifetime of use and polishing.






There is a light wave under the chrome trim on the drivers door.


Overall it is quite the find.
A very clean and extremely solid original survivor car.
Fantastic history, very well maintained, excellent runner and driver.
