Vehicle Description
Two-toned, lowered, and ready to cruise - this 1965 Volkswagen
Beetle offers some serious distinction even and plenty of custom
upgrades...all while never losing the affordable attitude.
VW fans tend to separate the early cars (pre-1967) from the later
cars, examples like this one remaining at the top of many wish
lists. With the bigger headlights, the early cars are much more
endearing. Plus, the bumpers w/overriders, flat windshield, and
rubber running boards add a certain classic appeal. And if it's
going to be vintage, it should be in a two-tone. The red and tan
are glossy and attractive. Overall, it's a driver-quality
appearance, and as the name suggests, it's the kind that you won't
be afraid to take out on the road. After all, the other investments
in this VW show that it loves to be a cruiser. The classic
EMPI/Speedwell BRM wheels and lowered stance (including the
negative camber in the rear wheels) give this car a cool VW hot rod
aggression. And everything from the relocated side mirrors to the
luggage rack is pure custom cruiser style.
This 1965 car's larger back window lets in more light, and it shows
off all the details inside. There is a tastefully done oatmeal tan
tweed that coordinates on the upholstery, door panels, and carpet
for a comfortable and quality presentation. The parcel shelf,
flower vase, and hand-laid pinstriping are a great way to represent
the custom and vintage attitude that this one wants to put forward.
And the upgraded steering wheel has pinstriping for style, and it
has the grippy feel to really give you firm control.
The engine bay has quite a tidy style, and so you can instantly see
that they made the right investments in maintaining this VW. And
the clean undercarriage also shows off more of this well-respected
overall impression. The 1200cc unit is a 1965-correct motor, and
you'll spot plenty of newer pieces, like the alternator, heater
hoses, belt, fuel pump, and carburetor. That's why this motor fires
up readily with a magical buzz that only an air-cooled motor can.
The wide modern tires and nibble suspension makes this feel good
out on the road. Plus, the four-speed manual transmission makes you
an integral part of getting the proper power out of the hardy
powerhouse.
This is the perfect blend of custom, vintage, and affordable. You
know you're supposed to pay a lot more for a head-turning Beetle
like this, so then you also know how quick you have to be to snatch
up this deal. Call today!!!
