1965 VW BUG CONVERTIBLE IT IS A WARM SUNNY DAY. NOW PICTURE YOURSELF TAKING THIS CUTE 1965 VOLKSWAGEN FOR A DRIVE WITH THE TOP DOWN. ITS BRIGHT RED EXTERIOR COLOR , WHITE INTERIOR, AND BLACK TOP MAKE IT A HEAD TURNER. FOLKS WILL WAVE, SMILE, GIVE YOU THUMBS UP, AND GAPE AS YOU DRIVE BY. IF YOU HAVE EVER THOUGHT ABOUT OWNING A 60's VOLKSWAGEN CONVERTIBLE HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN ONE WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY TENS OF THOUSANDS FOR "FULL RESTORATION" PRICES , HEADACHES, OR TIME FRAME. THIS WAS A FLORIDA CAR UNTIL THE LATE 70's UNTIL IT VENTURED TO MAINE WHERE IT BECAME A CHERISHED SUMMER CRUISER. FIVE YEARS AGO A RESTORATION WAS COMPLETED ON THIS ACCIDENT FREE SPECIMEN. THE RESTORATION CONSISTED OF A DOWN TO THE METAL STRIPPING AND NEW PAINT JOB. INTERIOR FRESHEN, TRANSMISSION RE-FRESHEN, AND A NEW TOP WERE HANDLED. DURING THE PAST TWO YEARS THE CAR WAS SUBJECTED TO $1,000 OF TIRES. JUST RECENTLY THE CAR HAD ITS FUEL SYSTEM, BRAKING SYSTEM, AND 6 VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GONE THROUGH AND ANY PARTS SHOWING WEAR WERE REPLACED. A TUNE-UP WAS ALSO COMPLETED WITH COMPRESSION CHECK AND A NEW INTAKE MANIFOLD WAS INSTALLED ON THIS 36 HP ENGINE. THE END RESULT IS THAT THIS BEETLE DRIVES LIKE IT DID WHEN IT DROVE OFF THE LOT IN 1965. IT IS A GREAT SUMMER CRUISER OR SHOW CAR. IT HAS A MASSACHUSETTS TITLE AND IS LOCATED IN WALLINGFORD , CT. *YOU ARE WELCOMED AND ENCOURAGED TO INSPECT THIS VW OR HAVE SOMEONE ELSE INSPECT IT.

EBAY MEMBER XXXX Hi, Thank you for your interest. At this point I have 1062 views and 45 watchers. The reserve price is $12,999. I have been an EBAY member for several years and want to wait until the auction is over and not terminate it early except for a BUY IT NOW offer. I have heard of folks ending auctions early to sell their item and I think I would be stupid to do so. Aside from getting in trouble with EBAY I would not be protected from a scam and YOU wouldn't either. After a 23 window bus sold for $198,000 recently there has been huge interest in VWs. Restoring this bug convertible took a fair amount of money and 1 1/2 years. I have had interest in the BUY IT NOW amount but the person wanted to tie up the sale while I waited for his financing. I refused. Good luck with whatever bid you make. Thanks again for the interest. It is a well done VW . treefrogdesign _____________________________________________________________________________ EBAY MEMBER XXXX HI, 1) VIN # XXXX Motor # XXXX 2) Photos added to listing 3) Pan looks like it came from factory 4) Added shot of pan is from under car under battery box 5) Yes on inspection.

Yes, as mentioned - treefrogdesign___________________________________________________________________________ EBAY MEMBER XXXX Hi Again, No wonder you didn't see the comment about inspection of the car. I knew I put it in but couldn't find it until I looked under PAYMENT. SO, figuring the other folks would want to know too, I copied the comment and turned it red at put it under DESCRIPTION. So, THANKS. OH, any other questions, Please ask. I appreciate the interest. I was floored today when I saw the 23 window went for $198,000. Holy smokes !! thanks treefrogdesign ______________________________________________________________________________
