Branching out from collecting old Saabs and bought my first Beetle.
Found a 1965 that's had one owner for the past 30 years. He's taken very good care of it.
1600 dp engine
New brake shoes/cylinders
12v conversion
A few minor things to do here and there but I'm very happy with my purchase.

| What do you plan on doing to it? It's an very nice clean car by the looks of it. |

I try to keep my cars as close to stock as possible so nothing major.
It still has the 6 volt radio so I'll pull it and see if it still works. If it does I'll build a power supply for it and re-install, if not maybe a 12v reproduction.
Need to work out a couple bugs.
The turn signals only work when the park lights are on
Horn and brake lights are out
Will try to replace the steering wheel...has a couple cracks
And tighten up some of the play in the shift linkage.
Not a show car- just a fun car :) |
