This 1963 Volkswagen Beetle is powered by a 1.2-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle, and it is finished in anthracite gray over matching vinyl. Equipment includes a rear luggage rack, a roof cargo rack, an under-dash parcel shelf, a push-button radio, a flower vase, seat belts, and painted wheels with whitewall tires. The car was initially sold and serviced by Oliver Imported Cars of Berkeley, California, and remained in that state until it migrated in 2010 to a new owner in Tennessee. That owner drove it 450 miles over 10 years, and after his death the car was acquired by the seller in 2020. Subsequent work included a repaint of the hood and right front fender as well as replacement of the interior door panels, battery, and engine oil.
The body is finished in anthracite gray and is said to have been repainted during prior ownership. Features include chrome bumpers with overriders, mud flaps, door sill protectors, door post kick plates, front and rear gravel guards, a rear luggage rack, and a roof rack.
White-painted 15″ steel wheels with polished VW hubcaps wear whitewall tires, and a spare wheel and tire are situated in the front trunk along with a jack. Braking is provided by drums all around. The seller notes the tires are over 10 years old.
The cabin features seats upholstered in gray vinyl with cream piping and salt-and-pepper carpets protected by rubber floor mats. Additional appointments include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, lap belts, hand-crank windows, a dash-mounted vase, an under-dash parcel shelf, and a push-button AM/FM radio. A Thermador car cooler is included in the. The seller replaced the interior door panels and the originals are available if desired.
Instrumentation includes a 90-mph speedometer, a fuel gauge, and a five-digit odometer showing 71k miles.
The 1.2-liter flat-four sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. The seller has changed the engine oil and replaced the battery.
Awards garnered during prior ownership are included in the sale along with a copy of the September 2001 issue of Hot VWs Magazine featuring the car.
The car is supplied with service records spanning the period 1964-1992. The car was inspected by a local German repair shop, Bavarian Motors, upon its arrival in Tennessee.
