This 1965 Volkswagen Beetle is finished in red over a two-tone gray interior and was acquired by the seller in 2018. The car is powered by a 1,200L flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle, and it is equipped with 15″ steel wheels with chrome covers, chrome bumpers, vinyl seats, and a push-button radio. Modifications installed under current ownership include four-wheel disc brakes, a 12-volt electrical conversion, and halogen headlamps. Recent service is said to have included a replacement clutch assembly, shift coupler, shift rod bushing, carburetor choke heater, fuel filter, hoses, seals, and brake master cylinder.
The body was reportedly repainted in Ruby Red during prior ownership, and exterior features include halogen headlamps, chrome bumpers and trim, a single chrome side mirror, and twin exhaust finishers.
White-painted 15″ steel wheels wear dog-dish hubcaps and are mounted with 165/80 Nankang CX-668 tires. Disc brakes have been installed at all four corners, and the seller states that the brake master cylinder has been replaced under current ownership.
The seats are upholstered in two-tone gray vinyl with textured inserts, and matching upholstery extends to the headliner, visors, and door panels. Equipment includes dark gray carpets, floor mats, a Boman push-button radio, and front shoulder belts.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 90-mph speedometer and a fuel gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 55k miles.
The air-cooled 1,200L flat-four sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. A 12-volt electrical conversion was performed under current ownership, and work completed in 2018 is said to have included a replacement clutch, shift coupler, shift rod bushing, carburetor choke heater, axle boot, fuel filter, hoses, and seals.
