THE FINEST VW SHORTY IN THE WORLD!!!

1965 Volkswagen Single Cab - Custom Shorty

This is absolutely the finest VW Single Cab custom shorty in existence!!!

It was built by a VW-only restoration shop in Southern California.   No expense was spared during its 8-month rotisserie restoration.   Every single nut. bolt. and part is new. I mean absolutely everything.   And. the parts are not swap meet Chinese junk.   Only the highest quality parts that money could buy were used to build this shorty (Wolfsburg West. Wolfgang International. Aircooled Accessories. etc. ).

This shorty is 100% rust-free. and the paint and body are incredible.   I will let the pictures prove it.   The PPG paint was sprayed in original colors from a 1957 Chevy. tropical turquoise and India ivory.   I had this shorty built for my wife (my other shorty) to drive while we are visiting our second home on Maui.   She just doesn't enjoy driving old vehicles as much as I do.   I already have a 23-window Samba. so this single cab shorty is getting sold to a lucky new owner.  

Besides owning it as your personal ride. this shorty would make an incredible investment as an advertising vehicle for any company.   We cannot drive this thing anywhere on the island without getting more attention than we sometimes even like.   Make sure to add an extra 20 minutes to every trip to the beach (or supermarket) to allow time for random picture takers and VW conversations!

Every single part on this vehicle is brand new. from engine lid hinges to wiring harness to complete brake system to mirrors and everything in between.   The engine (1600cc single port). transmission. and gear reduction boxes were all completely disassembled and rebuilt using only new parts.   Also. the entire vehicle. including the inside of the front cab. frame. undercarriage. wheel wells. inside and bottom of doors. etc. was coated with POR15.   I had anticipated it would spend its life on Maui. so every precaution was taken to prevent rust from ever forming on this beauty.   Wherever you live. rest assured this shorty will remain in pristine condition despite the weather (or salt on the roads).

The entire vehicle is brand new. and can be driven anywhere. and you can only imagine the U-turn capabilities of this thing!  Also. when you consider the incredibly bright LED headlights and LED tail lights. and the front disc brakes. this shorty was made to drive anywhere at anytime. and as safely as possible.
