OK......Lets try this "One More Time" before she gets put in the back garage and completely gone over this winter. Below is my "original" listing.......I was only going to list my "65" "Hard-Top-Crank Sunroof" Bug one time....if she didn't sale....as stated above...into the garage for a "Winter" gone over. I'm actively looking for a "Volksrod" - most of the work done....don't want to get into any projects at this stage...so if you have one and may want to consider some "trading - negotiating"...let me know. Last auction my "65" almost hit the "Reserve" NOW NO RESERVE ! Don't want to give her away...as noted below don't have to sale...but came across a "sweet" Volksrod but don't want to have two (2) "Dubs" in the yard....so...."ONE MORE TIME"...SERIOUSLY.....here we go: NOTE: The "Bug" is "For Sale" locally...(sign in window), so if she sales locally this sale will end. ALSO: If you want to make an offer (no lower than starting bid), don't want to wait until the end of auction.....let me know....I can always STOP the auction and I'll work it out with eBay........want to come down and take a look at her.....let me know, we can set that up. Let me begin by saying: 1. I don't need to sale my "Bug" for any financial, moving, another project reason; I'm simply considering selling to seek out a "Volksrod" or if she doesn't sale, move her in the garage and do a complete "Body Off" restoration. Don't want to make her a "Volksrod" simply due to the fact that her value lies in her being a "65" - Hard/Crank Sun-Roof - fairly nice shape Type I "Bug" - want to keep her that way. Looking for a "completed" Volksod where someone else did the work (most of the work). 2. The "Bug" is a "Daily Driver" and by that I mean I can jump in her whenever I want, take a nice cruse up the Lake (Lake Erie) or to a local show. She isn't my only vehicle - only driven for the fun of it. 3. I purchased the "Bug" basically like she is, other than some of the engine upgrades I will identify. [and some of the obvious stickers :-)] 4. It appears that the "Bug" at some time was restored, this based on the re-paint, new interior, newer tires, overall condition etc. 5. She looks nice, get's "thumbs up" by everyone, runs good but has some very minor issues that one would need to address if wanting to bring her back to "Show Quality". No issues affect her drive-ability....or operational concerns, mostly cosmetic. With that said, Lets continue 1965 VW - Type I Beetle - "Bug" Red Exterior Beige / Black Interior 70,432 Miles (will change since I do drive her) Runs - Drives Great Smooth shifting Smooth Stop/Go Someone at some time did a "restoration" on her, I obtained her this way other than some engine work as noted: Oil change (include screen)New PlugsNew fuel linesNew (electronic) DistributorCarb Rebuild (new-larger jets)Valve AdjustmentSome new bolts - screwsReplaced Heater Duct HoseReplace one exhaustMisc. parts - adjustment(All this was done by a local - well known - well respected VW Mechanic) "Bug" came with a really nice, great sounding CD Receiver/Receptor JVC KD-S39 and 4 Great Sounding JVC Speakers When you play this system - put a CD in it, the sound is unbelievable loud and clear "Bug" is equipped with the somewhat rare (adds to value) Hard Top - Crank Open "Sun Roof" (No leaks) All glass is clear and good Tires are almost "New" I've taken a number of pictures of the vehicle Attempted to take pictures of the undercarriage but without putting her on a lift is somewhat difficult but I can tell you from what I have seen by crawling underneath the pans, and heater channels are intact. Have two (2) hubcaps only All in All She's in pretty good shape. May have missed some "minor" issues but not attempting to hide anything from any potential buyer. The value in this car lies in the fact that she runs, drives, stops and goes great!Interior is fairly "new", no need to replaceNice body, some minor concerns but niceUndercarriage looks nice - intact. Good engine - runs great - some improvement done.Good GlassGood (nearly new tires)Jump in driveRepair - Re-do while you enjoy her.Take to any show as is. Not perfect but remember she is 50 years old If your looking - If you know your VW "Bugs" - If you stay in the early - mid "60s" That's where the value is and is climbing Obviously "Pick Up" Only or Buyer arrangers delivery.

NOTE "STARTING BID" is set LOWER than the appraised (Hagerty) value of this vehicle if it was in "Poor" condition - this "BUG" is in "Good" to "Very Good" condition.
