1965 Blue Volkswagen Beetle 2 Door Coupe

Professionally Appraised and Certified Classic 1965 Volkswagen Beetle. Official appraisal booklet/Certificate ($500 value) included in sale price. This VW Bug has been in my family since 1973. My parents purchased this vehicle in Hawaii while stationed with the US Navy in Pearl Harbor. It actually still has the Honolulu Towing sticker on the driver's side flip out window. After leaving the military my parents shipped this car back home to Queens New York. As a child this was our family car for a few years. In 1987 we took it off the road as we no longer needed it as a family vehicle (station wagons were the thing to drive). We stored the car in our garage until 1995 when my father decided to put it back on the road. We had it as a buzz around town car for a few years before it returned back into the garage in 1999. After sitting around for a few years my father decided to pay to have the car fully restored. In 2007/2008 my father brought the car to Steve's Foreign Car Repair in Rockville Centre New York. Steve stripped the car down completely and rebuilt it using all original parts as much as possible. The floor boards were fully replaced so you can see the extent that was taken to bring this car back to life. My father's goal was to take this car to VW shows etc. The car is in beautiful condition and just needs a little love. The front bumper has a small kink in it but can easily be popped out by a body shop. The only other thing that it needs is a spare tire and a new side mirror. I replaced the mirror with one that better suits my blind spots etc. As for the spare tire I don't need one as my Insurance policy has free road side assistance. I am the sole owner now and it's insured and registered in my name in Stamford CT. I drive it around on the weekends and keep it in my garage. The Classic Auto Insurance is a reasonable cost per year ($125. 00) and it's very particular how the car can be used (cruising and shows. no more than 1. 00 miles a year). I had the professional appraisal done 5/17/2011 as I needed to have the car valued in order to settle my father's estate. The appraisal valued it at $11. 00. 00 with an Insurance replacement of $11. 50. 00. I love the car but I think it would be better to see a true VW lover take ownership of her.   I'm moving and having garage space going forward is going to be a challenge. It would be nice to see the next owner keep her in their family for another 40 years!
