1965 Volkswagen Beetle-Classic Deluxe

Collector quality 1965 Deluxe sedan in Ruby red with 100% originalinterior and low mileage.Exterior, glass-out respray in 1995 with noevidence of collision, corrosion or abuse.The single-stage ruby redpaint is excellent. The original owner “Ruth” from LakeForest, Illinois sold the car to her next door neighbor “Roger” in 1992with 23,155 miles.Googlearthing the address reveals these were verywell-to-do folks.Fifteen years later, and 10,000 miles down the road ,Roger sold it to “Carla” in Atascadero, who appeared to own a sprawlinghorse ranch.It is believed that Ruby received the paint work duringher ownership.In 2015, Ruby found her way down to Oxnard with 42,771miles into the arms of a vintage air cooled enthusiast “Allen”.Allenenjoyed the car in his retirement and today, the car has about 47,000miles.

The long-term, mature ownership history of this special beetle isevident today as you study every detail.I have owned her for over ayear, and have moisturized the paint and interior and detailed andpreserved her top to bottom.It appears that Ruby has never beenstored outdoors, or exposed to winter conditions in her early life,because of how well the original interior has survived.Original seatcovers, door panels, square weave carpets, rubber mats, headliner,knobs, steering wheel, handles, etc.

I have had all new ATE wheel cylinders installed, all new Germanbrake shoes, and all new drums installed this month.New tires haveabout 500 miles on them.

The electrical system was converted to 12-volt, with a new (notrebuilt) Bosch 912 generator, yet still retains the 6V starter (which isbrand new Bosch, not rebuilt).The engine starts with just a quick*kiss* of the key, and all operations of this car…idle, acceleration,steering and braking are very smooth and nimble, just as a tight,low-mile Volkswagen should be.Original jack, owners manual, sparetire, under bonnet cardboard are all in place.

I am happy to provide further photos and information.CleanCalifornia title in my name. I welcome inspections of this special car!
