1965 Beetle Is This California Dreaming or What? For Sale

Is this California dreaming or what?

Designed by Karmann, this car is a beautiful specimen. No rust, exceptional paint, many original parts, the engine is true, and she's fun to drive.

It's an aircooled VW... what's not to like?!!?!? A lot of power that you can really feel. This is a drivers vehicle. If you're looking for auto seat adjustments and power windows and heat and a/ c and what not, then this is not for you. If you love cars and driving them then get yourself into this VW!

She is 100% stock and a hoot to drive. Everyone loves to come tell stories how their families all have owned one and the crazy stuff that happened to them. I cant think of a better entry collector car for an enthusiast to begin with.

Head turner, great gas mileage, cheap to repair and maintain and if you do manage to run out of gas, its really easy to push :)

Ultimate cool to suit a laid back lifestyle. A great classic for the ladies too.

Performance - exceptional handling, steering feels like its power assisted, easy gear shift.

Build - hard body with classical sportive appearance. Love the supportive seats and the old dashboard. It's like driving a new 60 year old car. Not many of these old Bugs left in this kind of condition, and none of them look and drive like this one. Plus if you run out of gas, its easy to push :) I really hope everyone gets to drive one in this condition at least once in their life.

Perfect condition – purchased from Drew Colome of Colome Motors (Quality Vintage Volkswagen Specialist since 1964 in Los Angeles California, USA) and first registered in New Zealand in 2013.

Still looks like its just come out of its restoration. Recent work include brakes, servicing etc.

This is a De Luxe Model – still on 6V Battery

Simple, small, fast (enough), cool (especially in winter), low, safe for pedestrians (they hear you coming from a distance), only few electrical components.
