1965 Beetle in Excellent Conddition Price: $26500
|
HISTORY: Purchased in excellent condition in 1979 from a family whose kids had been driving it and wanted a change. Has never been stored outside. It came with two nice extras: a sunroof and two pop-out rear windows. Shortly after I acquired it, I had the floor pans and undercarriage welded to prevent rust damage. I drove it regularly to and from work until I retired. It has been driven very little since then. This provided motivation to keep it in good working order. The current odometer reading is 83,252 miles.
