1965 VW BUG SECOND OWNER CALIFORNIA CAR CLASSIC STANDARD FAMILY LOW MILES IN REBUILT ENGINE YOU ARE BIDDING ON A VW BUG 1965 THAT I BOUGHT BACK IN 1982 FROM ITS ORIGINAL OWNER, A SWEDISH AIRPLAINE PILOT THAT ONLY USE IT FROM HIS LA HOUSE TO LAX BACK AND FORTH. WHEN BOUGHT, THE CAR HAD ONLY 35,000 ORIGINAL MILES, I SAW IT AND I LOVED IT. THIS CAR HAD BROUGHT UP MY TWO SONS, HAS A TON OF GOOD MEMORIES, LONG TRIPS AND STORIES. IT IS IN ITS ORIGINAL STATE AND I HAVE IT ALWAYS SERVICED BY A GERMAN GUY TRAINED AS A VW MECHANIC IN BABARIA. THE ENGINE NEEDED A REBUILT BACK IN 1994 AND IT WAS DONE WITH ALL GERMAN PARTS, MUCH EASY TO OBTAIN BACK THEN. SEATS ARE HORSE HEAIR AND SPRINGS AS IT CAME FROM FACTORY AND COVERS WERE CUSTOME ORDERED WITH GERMAN MATERIAL WHEN IT WAS TIME TO REPLACE THE OLD ONES MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO. THIS CAR IS A FAMILY CAR, IT MEANS IT HAS BEEN STORAGED IN A GARAGE ALWAYS, NEVER RACED OR MISTREATED. ITS PAINT IS ALMOST PRISTINE THOU IT IS NOT NEW, IT HAS SEEN VERY FEW OF THE SUN LIGHT SINCE I STOPPED DRIVING IT DAILY BACK IN 1995 AND USE IT ONLY FOR PLEASURE IN WEEKENDS OR VW RALLIES. ALL PARTS ARE IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION, IT HAS BEEN SERVICED PERIODICALY. SOME NEW STAFF HAVE BEEN ADDED LASTLY JUST FOR FUN AS THE LADY BUG FLOOR MATS AND A REPLICA OF AN ORIGUNAL RADIO THAT IS NOT WIRED AND NEED SPEEKERS. FRONT SEAT BELTS ARE ORIGINAL VW, REAR WERE ADDED 30 YEARS AGO. FLOOR CARPET IS GERMAN BRAND NEW. ORIGINAL WINDSHIELD GLASS WAS, UNFORTUNATELY, BROKEN BY A MECHANIC WHILE REPLACING WEATHER STRIPPING, SO IT IS A FY AS1 M848. THE TWO FLAP GLASSES ARE VW SEKURIT, DRIVER WINDOW GLASS IS VW DUROGLASS, AND QUARTER PANELS, RIGHT AND LEFT PLUS REAR GLASSES ARE VW CE GLASS. REAR BUMPER IS ORIGINAL FROM FACTORY, FRONT IS N.O.S GERMAN REPLACEMENT AND UNDERNEATH COCKPIT IS AN ORIGINAL BAMBUS SHELF NOT A COPY. I CAN SAY THAT THIS IS A 95 % ORIGINAL GERMAN CAR AS FAR AS I KNOW. I HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY OWNING THIS RELIC THAT CAN ALSO GIVE YOU THE RELIABILTY OF DAILY DRIVING CAR AL WELL AS THE PLEASURE OF BEING THE CENTER OF CONVERSATION WHEREVER YOU GO. GOOD LOOK AND BID RESPONSABLE.
