Let me begin by saying:1. I don't need to sale my "Bug" for any financial, oving, nother project reason; I'm simply considering selling to seek out a "Volksrod" or if she doesn't sale, ove her in the garage and do a complete "Body Off" restoration. Don't want to make her a "Volksrod" simply due to the fact that her value lies in her being a "65" - Hard/Crank Sun-Roof - fairly nice shape Type I "Bug" - want to keep her that way. Looking for a "completed" Volksod where someone else did the work (most of the work).2. The "Bug" is a "Daily Driver" and by that I mean I can jump in her whenever I want, ake a nice cruse up the Lake (Lake Erie) or to a local show. She isn't my only vehicle - only driven for the fun of it.3. I purchased the "Bug" basically like she is, ther than some of the engine upgrades I will identify. [and some of the obvious stickers :-)]4. It appears that the "Bug" at some time was restored, his based on the re-paint, new interior, ewer tires, verall condition etc.5. She looks nice, et's "thumbs up" by everyone, uns good but has some very minor issues that one would need to address if wanting to bring her back to "Show Quality". No issues affect her drive-ability....or operational concerns, ostly cosmetic.With that said, ets continue1965VW - Type IBeetle - "Bug"Red ExteriorBeige / Black Interior70,432 Miles(will change since I do drive her)Runs - Drives GreatSmooth shiftingSmooth Stop/GoSomeone at some time did a "restoration" on her, obtained her this way other than some engine work as noted:
