1965 VW Squareback 4 speed manual transmission. Twin Solex carbs. The story with this car is that it was purchased new in Europe and brought back to the US with the original owner. It is fitted with a kilometers odometer. This car has been fitted with a replacement VIN tag on the door pillar by the Missouri Highway Patrol. It is NOT a salvage or rebuilt car. The Missouri title is clear and current. Obviously the car has been repainted a pearl pink that is not original to the car. The repaint is comprehensive in the sense that the door jams and under the hood and all interior metal was painted as well. The headliner and all interior panels, seats and door panels were restored to compliment the paint. The car is fitted with later model "high-back seats". We purchased the car from a customer of ours and proceeded to service the front end with new ball joints and an alignment service. We replaced the rear wheel cylinders and flushed the brake system. 4 new tires on wide 5 chrome wheels. The car was fitted with an aftermarket poor quality generator. We have installed a good original 12 volt VW Type III generator (with cooling hole) and new brushes. All the lights, signals and horn work as they should. The rear seat folds down flat and and is fully functional. There are a couple patched spots in the floor (the battery tray is fixed and solid) and the floors have been undercoated. The rockers and wheels wells are all solid and aside from the two pics of the fenders the car is cosmetically and structurally rust free. This is good example of an older custom restoration. The car starts, idles and runs and drives well. There are not many solid Squarebacks left anymore and there are certainly not too many PINK ones. THIS CAR TURNS A LOT OF HEADS!!
