So I'm considering redoing my 65. I'm looking for some inspiration. Doesn't have to be a 65, but I'd like to see the best looking looking bugs you've ever seen. Patina cars need not apply! |

Probably won't inspire you, but I think they were beautiful just the way they came out of the factory. _________________ '65 Sunroof Bug |

I probably wouldn't go back to stock but if there is a great looking color/interior combo I'd be interested in seeing it. |

Go to the archives and look at the brochures for 65 beetle. That's where you go for inspiration. |

Your favorite will always be your own. Taking inspiration from others here and there will get you where you want to be.
