This is the only car that was in our family the longest out of any automobile we owned. That is how much we loved this little bug. It was always a fast little car even though it never had a modified engine in it. This California VW has not been used since my father in law passed away. He was from Germany and actually got us started with the few Bugs we owned. Retirement is here now and we have to scale back. I'd love to bring it back to tip top shape, but I can't work on cars any longer and so who have to hope there is someone else out there that can give it the love it deserves. The body is in good shape for a 48 year old car that has not been restored. The front hood was a replacement and that was repaired, but it didn't last. I believe I still have some paint left too for it and I'll give it to the buyer along with the extra goodies that are in the pictures. Please examine the photos. You could repaint the car if you wished to or buff it out and use it as is. The car is currently not running because fuel is not getting to the carb. I believe from sitting the hoses must have dried out and cracked. The motor cranks good though. The emergency brake inside got disengaged but I'm sure it can be fixed as this is a pretty common thing. From memory I think the last time I drove the car it was pulling to the left. I haven't opened the sunroof in 10 years so I can't tell you if it works or not. All of this will make you a great story how you brought this ol' buggy back to life so I'll leave the fixin' up to you. If you have any questions about this 65 Bug, please ask before you bid. I want to be upfront about anything you need to know and will do my best to fill in any blanks. Just want the car to go to a good home and not get hacked up. Note: The car was properly converted from 6 to 12 volt. I purchased and had installed the window rubber with the trim on it since we liked the original look. We also had pop out rear windows installed as well. *This car is for sale locally. We reserve the right to cancel the auction early. Hope you get this friendly little VW..... Happy Bidding!
