1965 VW Beetle For Sale
This Northern California based 1965 Beetle has been in the family since 1966.
It is a very stock and un-altered car.
The current owner's grandfather bought it in 66 and kept it untiul his passing at 97 years old and then
it went to his daughter who had the paint redone and some other work as well.
The car then sat in the barn until about 2005 when the grand-daughter got the car
and her husband put in some effort and funds in doing the brakes and mechanicals.
The car is still in the original Java green paint color and everything looks
very "virginal" as far as the original equipment.
The current owners have been using it as a fair weather driver and it has performed very well.
The body appears quite straight and there are no signs of any serious damage or repair.
The body trim has a few dings here and there but the rubber seems in acceptable shape.
There is a scratch on the hood...but everything seems to fit very well when it comes to all the body panels.
The bumpers are original German units...a couple dings and scratches but still shiny.
Light scratches on the fender...
