If it's an SO42 they made around 13,000 of them. As to how many were produced in 1965 and what percentage were walk through that year I'm not sure. I'm going to guess around 2,000-3,000.

From the Westy Production totals thread:

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=579032&highlight=westfalia+production+numbers

1965: Fabrik Nr. 1-2200 (about 2200 produced)
1966: Fabrik Nr. 2200-6900 (about 4700 produced)
1967: Fabrik Nr. 6900-12700 (about 5800 produced)

SO-42 total production of around 12,700.

That's the best guess based on the known Fabrik-Nr. plates.
