Wow! The body/frame are so bad that he didn't even bother to post pictures! 
Too bad. What is shown looks pretty good.  |
Didn't know the RHD brake pedal for an Automatic is different than LHD. Check out the pedal and the carpet.

Interior is an 8 out 10? I think for an 8 I would like door panels, shift knob, correct steering wheel and an headliner that is well... proper, but maybe I'm being picky. |

It's actually for the FI system. At least it looks like it's mostly there.

If that makes a difference, then Ill cobble some shit I have here laying around together, throw in a harness and brain. You can have it for the very low price of $500.

Stop lying. You may have a harness but you sure don't have a brain!

Ive been known to associate with less desirable people for just that reason.

I agree it looks super nice.
Weird they say 1964 when they list a 1965 VIN #
Color is Safari Beige - it looks green in some lighting |
Likely an early '65 built in '64. Dealers in USA had a hard time getting them titled right because DMVs would insist it was a '64 if built in August. Another issue is that private importers were required to provide a date of manufacture rather than model year, and thus a lot of them got imported as wrong year cars, and nobody here in USA seemed to be capable of deciphering German car VINs.
This worked well for people trying to import new cars as used, since the duty was far less!
BTW, FWIW, it WAS possible to special order "non USA" grey market" cars through USA dealers, though it was "officially" frowned upon. I found out that my former '66 Type 34 that's now Notchboy's was actually special ordered and sold through the VW dealer in Salem, Oregon.
i think that's why we have so many Notchbacks, Type 34s, and early Variants here in USA, frankly. They just are not as rare as they ought to be!

Don't forget about the tourist program too. Go to Europe, tour the countryside in your vw, and have your car shipped back.
My 59 bug was from a school teacher on the army base in Germany and had it shipped back when her teaching was done it cost her right around 100$ to have it shipped.
