Up for sale is my 1966 VW Beetle, Florida Vehicle. I have owned many vintage cars in the past, but I must say this is one of the nicest I have ever had. It’s in very nice, clean, and solid condition. It has been very, very well kept. I made it as reliable as I could. I drive it on a regular basis, cruising very easily at 40-50 MPH. I don't ever hesitate to put my kids in it and drive it anywhere. However, you must remember that even though I feel so strongly about this great car's condition, it is still a 45 years old vehicle and its performance, looks, and condition are not perfect/mint. Its limitations must be respected and expected. The car is very sharp, looks amazing, drives good, and it only needs minor things to make it perfect. Body: Extremely good condition, all original panels and sheet metal, and some surface rust. They did repair it in some places with bondo. The Right Rear Fender has a crack because I backed into something. Floors don’t need any repairs. As this is not a show car and it is not mint there is very little surface rust in the nooks and crannies (almost not even noticeable). Paint: It was painted a few years back and the paint is very glossy. All the people who have seen it at shows have told me it looks awesome. It does have some minor nicks here and there but they been touched up with color matching touch-up paint. Interior: I show it like this all the time as it doesn’t looks very decent as is. If I would keep it, I would definitely re-upholster the seats and get the door panels as it has none. Springs on the seat are firm. Speedometer works perfect and has the illuminating light. I believe the gas gauge doesn’t work but I’m not certain as every time I drive it I top it off and it hasn’t run empty in my possession. Dash is in great condition, with glove box in great condition. Steering wheel is very solid and in good condition but it has some cracks. Floors: The driver side is perfect as-well as the rear. The passenger side was cut out and a brand new floor pan was dropped down, welded and screwed in. Chrome: Both bumpers are in Great condition. No chips, rust, or cracks. All the chrome trims are in great condition and almost perfect considering their age. Motor: From the research I’ve done on the forums, I believe it has a Single Port 1300cc. Works perfect and has absolutely no issues. It does have a small oil leak which I believe is a simple gasket. Transmission: Manual 4 speed on the floor (Zero play and it shift smooth). I believe it has a small shifter because the gears are super close. I believe they are about 1 ½ inches from gear to gear. Clutch is perfect and it has plenty of life still left. Fuel System: Rust Free fuel tank with 0 % of fuel gasses inside the cab. All lines are solid and have 0 leaks. Suspension: Front: Lowered with a 6 inch narrow beam. Rear: believe to be springs Wheels & Tires: Tires are brand new! Wheels are smoothies with brand new chrome hub caps. Carburetor: Perfect, has absolutely no current issues and has no problems whatsoever and idles perfectly. Brakes: Drum Brakes all-around work OK but could use some bleeding. Also, when you brake it pulls to the left. I don’t know what it is but I’m used to it, as I’m sure you will get used it to. Electrical: Converted to 12 volt system. The following items work with no issues: headlights (driver’s side needs a new low beam bulb, but high works), parking lights work great. Brake lights & turn signals are not hooked up, therefore not working. Wipers (missing one) not hooked up either. Glass: All glass is perfect with no cracks, both door windows rolls up & down great. Triangle Window on both sides works great also. Title: Clean, Clear, Florida, Just issued it in my name. Must See 2, YouTube Videos!!!
