Vehicle Detail
A PIECE OF HISTORY! We are the second owners of this vehicle which was purchased new by my aunts brother on May 14,1965 in Wittmund,Germany while he was stationed there. He retained ownership until we purchased it on March 10,1995. Our intent was to restore it back to its original splendor but unfortunately we haven't. It has been stored and only driven to keep things in running order. This would be a great project for the serious "bug" fan. Has original paint and interior but definitely needs some TLC. We have all of the original paperwork right down to the notebook the original owner recorded everything. The paperwork that came with the car is mostly in German or German/English. The VW was shipped to the US in August 1967 and arrived in Norfolk,Va. Sept. 1967. The only thing missing is the front fog light and the spare tire gas tank which were on the car when shipped, but were missing when the car arrived in Norfolk. This is verified on shipping papers. Even though the mileage is low, it was driven daily. The original owner was employed at local college in the same community he lives. Since coming to the US it has resided in NC. The vehicle does have some surface rust. The only rust through area is under the battery. Driveable but needs the brakes gone through. Radio does not work but have been told it is repairable.
