1965 Volkswagen Beetle 1915 Engine, Safari Windshield, Air Suspension, BRM Wheel
1965 Volkswagen Beetle - Classic Description
1965 Beetle
First let me say that I LOVE this car. It has been extremely good to me and I get A LOT of compliments, thumbs up and peace signs flashed at me. With the 17" wheels and front Air Suspension it drives and handles unbelievably well. I have used it for marketing purposes and the idea of it being perfectly imperfect, sets it apart from most of the cars that are out there at VW events. However, most importantly it is extremely fun to drive.
I just went through and fixed all the little things that were bothering me on the vehicle.
I bought this car a few years ago and have disassembled most of the body, wet sanded and then cut and buffed everything to bring it to the current state. Most of the paint is original, however some areas have been resprayed, such as some of the roof and fenders and hood. The following are all the items that have been installed or replaced in the past year and around 2000 miles.

What could still be done if the new owner chose to? Install Engine and Trunk seals, and maybe replace some of the other seals, if desired. Previous owner installed a thicker metal in the center sections either to flat pan it or due to corrosion. Ihave never had any issues with them so I have left as is but through some undercoating over them.
