This 1965 Volkswagen Beetle was acquired by the seller about 13 years ago and has since been fitted with a FAT Performance-built 2,180cc flat-four equipped with a ceramic-coated steel exhaust, an MST serpentine pulley system, and twin Weber carburetors. Additional features include a four-speed manual transaxle with a Gene Berg shifter, chrome nerf bars, and 15″ EMPI wheels. The car was refinished in white during previous ownership while the interior features two-tone brown vinyl seats, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, and Coco mats.
The body was reportedly refinished in white during prior ownership and has been fitted with a fiberglass EMPI rear deck lid and chrome nerf bars, along with replacement glass and weatherstripping.
Polished 15″ EMPI BRM Speedwell wheels are mounted with 145-width Michelin XZX tires.
The seats are trimmed in two-tone brown vinyl, and the cabin features a fold-down rear bench, a white-painted dash, and white and brown door panels. Additional equipment includes a Gene Berg shifter, a lockable glove box, a grab handle for the passenger, Coco mats, and three-point seatbelts for the front occupants.
A wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts a 90-mph speedometer as well as an AutoMeter 8k-rpm tachometer and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer indicates 13k miles. Total mileage is unknown.
The 2,180cc flat-four was built by FAT Performance of Orange, California and installed during current ownership. Equipment includes a Bosch ignition coil, a ceramic-coated A1 Performance steel exhaust, a MST serpentine pulley system, and dual Weber carburetors.
Power is directed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle, and the seller notes an aftermarket clutch, pressure plate, and shift linkage have been installed.
