Single-Owner 1966 Volkswagen Beetle 1300 Sedan - 87,500 Original
Miles - Battery Box Restored - Highly Preserved
Offered for the very first time since leaving the showroom floor
six decades ago is this remarkable, single-owner 1966 Volkswagen
Beetle 1300. Purchased brand new in 1966 by its sole lady owner,
this vehicle has been cherished, meticulously maintained, and
garage-kept for its entire life, accumulating just 87,500 original
miles.
The 1966 model year is widely considered by enthusiasts to be the
absolute pinnacle of the vintage, flat-windshield Beetle era. It
introduced the legendary, punchier 1300cc engine while retaining
the classic 6-volt electrical architecture, beautiful early-style
dashboard layout, and iconic 5-lug wheels. This particular example
is a stunning representation of that brief, highly collectible
window in Volkswagen history.
? Body, Chassis & Structural Integrity
Finished in a highly sought-after, beautifully muted period hue
reminiscent of the rare factory Fontana Gray (L595), the body
displays excellent panel alignment and straight lines. The exterior
retains all of its correct, one-year-only components including the
iconic script "1300" rear decklid emblem, correct slotted 15-inch
steel wheels, flat-style chrome hubcaps, and period-correct
whitewall tires.
Importantly for vintage VW collectors: While these cars were
notorious for rusting out the battery tray area beneath the rear
seat due to acid leaking over time, the battery box on this Beetle
has been completely and cleanly replaced. It is structurally very
strong, solid, and free of issues, ensuring the car's foundation is
rock solid for its next caretaker.
? Interior & Cabin
Step inside the cabin, and you are instantly transported back to
1966. The highly preserved Black Leatherette interior is in stellar
condition, showing a level of care that only a true single-owner
vehicle can possess. The pristine dashboard features the original
factory radio, correct black dash grab handle, and the iconic
column-mounted high-beam stalk. The front seats retain their
factory locking mechanism, and the door cards match
beautifully.
? Mechanical Condition
Under the decklid sits the correct-type 1300cc air-cooled
horizontally opposed engine package. Thanks to continuous, lifelong
maintenance by its dedicated owner, the car runs, shifts, and
drives beautifully. It stops smoothly via its standard hydraulic
drums and offers the incredibly well-balanced, tactile driving
experience that made the '66 Beetle an international icon.
For the collector seeking an honest, unmolested, single-owner
vintage Volkswagen with a flawless story, or an enthusiast wanting
a turn-key cruiser with unmatched provenance, this '66 Bug is an
irreplaceable opportunity.
