Volkswagen Beetle - Classic (1966)
for sale

Price: US $3,999.00

Description:

It's time for the family '66 VW to pass on to the next family of VW lovers.
They made 1, 080, 165 type 1 Beetles in 1966. Sold in the USA were 302, 423. This one is #829, 986. This is not unique nor rare but has been in the family since 1973.
Mild custom with lowered suspension. Restored in 1996. Refreshed in 2008 with new rag top assembly, headliner, gas tank, body chrome trim, tires and brake job. Less than 100 miles on top end overhaul of +0.030 1600CC motor - new jugs, pistons and heads/valves included. Carb overhauled. New battery in Feb 2015. Just passed Texas state safety inspection without a comment. New rear view mirror, side view mirror and radio antenna in 2016.
Everything works. Steering tight. Drum brakes don't pull. Tranny and clutch tight. Only driven to cruise-ins and car shows. The chrome on the four wheels looks pretty good for them being 20 years old. Drives smooth - no wobble from the tires or wheels. IT'S JUST LOUD IN THE CABIN AT 70MPH!!
12 volt
conversion with alternator!
The VW was in California and Arizona from 1973 through 2006, in Florida from 2006-2008, Maryland 2008-2014 and in Ft Worth since 2014 when my 82 year-old father-in-law gave it to me. I personally drove it from Miami to Washington, DC in 2008 over 20 hours at 70 mph with only fuel stops. Burned less than one quart of oil.
Still: it's a 50 year old car of solid German steel and has some rust pitting here and there - especially in the front from stone chips. Some pitting along the roof rails. There are some small cracks in the body sheet metal under the rear fenders. Floor boards seem to have been replaced. The headlight buckets need to be sanded and repainted white.
The paint and interior is 20 years old. Original color was Java Green. Yes, it could benefit from a trip to your favorite paint shop. Small dent in right front fender - otherwise minimal body work to prep for paint. The running boards are showing their age too. Small tear in driver seat. Luckily VW parts are CHEAP and plentiful.
We love this VW due to its reliability and not because it's a trailer queen. Sound system has six speakers with a CD player.
Selling because I just retired and the wife says I can't keep all my toys once we move to smaller place. I've chosen to keep my 1967 Firebird that I've owned 37 years!
Clear Texas title in my name. Ready to be signed over to you! VW is registered and street legal in Texas through Dec 2016.
Of all my classic cars, this one is the one that has required minimal maintenance. Just turn the key and have fun. Plenty of thumbs up as you zoom by.
Please let me know if you need any more pictures or if you have any questions.
Happy bidding.
