1965 Deluxe US Spec Hardtop bug 

The incredibly good parts of this car: 
One owner car prior to me and I have the original pink slip from 1965. 
44,300 documented original miles. Documented by service stickers and DMV registration tags that show dates and mileage. 
Last registration stickers are 1991. No current registration and car is sold with the original title and bill of sale only. 
98% original L87 Pearl White Paint with #87 Mesh Red Interior. 
100% original almost-mint condition interior. This is by far the nicest original interior I have ever seen. 
The Mesh Red upholstery is mint with no wear and tear and no splitting seams. 
Mint original sunvisors, interior mirror, headliner, rubber floor mats, battery cover, tarboards, carpet kit, and door panels. Some of these pieces look NOS and just installed but have been on the car since new. 
Gearshift and e-brake handle in original L469 Anthracite paint. 
Original rims are a date coded matched set to the car in original two tone paint L41 Black and L87 Pearl white. 
Spare rim and tire is original and in un-restored condition. 
Both original black and yellow California license plates. 
Two "Carl Carleson - San Francisco" license plate frames where this bug was purchased from. Rear frame is original to the car. I replaced the broken front one with a spare that I had. 
Engine #9522318 is dated correctly and it appears to have never been removed from the car. I'm assuming this because of the low miles but cannot 100% guarantee it without the Birth Certificate. 
Original tool kit to match the Mesh Red interior. 
Original 12/64 owners manual that came with the car since new. 
Original luggage strap that mounts to the back of the rear seat. 
100% of the glass is correct and original to the car. 
The door windows roll up and down like a new car. 
Hubcaps are original to the car and are in extremely nice shape. 
Original jack, wiring cover and cardboard liner are in very nice shape. 
Original matching red Wolfsburg logo'd seatbelts. 
Original brown running board mats. 
Original VW 101 drivers side mirror with Tinted Glass. Very cool original mirror. 

See the pictures of under the wiring cover. Fuse box, speedo, switches, all look NOS but they are all original and perfect just the way it is supposed to be!! 

Since the car had been in long term storage it needed a few things to make it running and driving: New master cylinder, soft lines, and wheel cylinders were installed. Gas tank flushed and cleaned, fuel line inside tunnel flushed and cleaned, and the carb and fuel pump disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled. This car starts on the first crank and then stops on a dime to pick it up. And new 6v battery that fits under the original metal battery cover. 

Steering is amazing and the car still drives like it was brand new. 

There is the typical road grime under the car and it could use a good cleaning. Inside of the fender wells are dirty but the new owner can spend the time to fully detail this area. 

Parts that make this car not 100% perfect: 
The left edge of the drivers side of the rubber mat is slightly worn and cracking from age. 
Carpet around the heater channel on the drivers side is worn and the original owner put duct tape on it to protect...... 
Due to a minor accident in it's past; part of the drivers rear fender and bumper mount and surrounding area had to be repaired and repainted. It was metal finished inside and out and paint blended to match the original. It's very difficult to see any work was ever done except that it's cleaner than the other inner fenders. 
These are some small dents and dings around the car that give it some character. There has been prior touch ups around the rain gutter edges. 
When the fender was repaired the rear bumper was changed for a much cleaner original VW stamped one. So, while it's not original to the car, it's an original German one. 

Car is available for international shipping if needed. 

I take cash or bank wire transfers only. No Paypal, no personal checks, nothing else.........

Thanks for looking.
