This 1965 Volkswagen Beetle convertible was acquired by the seller in 2024 and is finished in white over beige plaid and red vinyl upholstery. Power comes from a 1,192cc air-cooled flat-four converted to utilize a 12-volt electrical system and paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Additional details include an EMPI downdraft carburetor, a lockable hood release and glove compartment, front lap belts, a Sapphire I push-button AM radio, and cupholders mounted to the ashtray receptacle in addition to a white convertible soft top, a beige top boot, rear fender stone guards, dual “pea shooter” exhaust outlets, and chrome bumpers with overriders. This Beetle convertible is now offered with the manufacturer’s literature, service records, a repair manual, a tow bar, spare parts, and a Texas title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in white with a matching convertible soft top and a beige boot cover. Exterior details include dual side-view mirrors, a Karmann body tag affixed to the right front quarter panel, rear fender stone guards, dual “pea shooter” exhaust outlets, and chrome bumpers with overriders. Images detailing the condition of the exterior are presented in the gallery below.
The 15″ steel wheels wear polished beauty rings and chrome VW-stamped hubcaps and are mounted with 165-series Firestone F-560 tires. Stopping power is provided by drum brakes at all four corners. The parking brake requires adjustment.
The front bucket seats are trimmed in beige plaid and red vinyl upholstery and are joined by a matching rear bench seat, color-coordinated door panels, and brown carpeting. The hood release handle has been relocated closer to the steering column and is fitted with a locking handle, while additional interior elements include a foot-operated high/low-beam switch, front lap belts, a lockable glove compartment, a Sapphire I push-button AM radio, and cupholders mounted to the ashtray receptacle.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn bar with a Wolfsburg crest center cap and frames a 90-mph VDO speedometer and a fuel-level gauge. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 55k miles, a handful of which were added under current ownership.
A rain deflector is mounted to the underside of the deck lid, which opens to reveal a 1,192cc (7) air-cooled flat-four that has been converted to utilize a 12-volt electrical system and is fed by a Solex-style EMPI carburetor topped with a chrome louvered air cleaner bonnet. An oil change was performed in 2024.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. Additional underside images are provided in the gallery.
The Texas title carries a “VIN Certification Waived” notation in the remarks section.
