1965 beetle
hey there,
i am new to this forum thing, so i think i might just brag about my new dub to people who might listen.
I'm only 16 so it is my first car, i inherited the vw disease or"bug" from my father who has owned about 12 or so in his life.
i bought her (1965 beetle) in jan '08 in fair condition for $3000, i then spent $1800 getting it mechanically sound and roadworthy (king pins,
bearings, all that jazz) i am an absolute nazi when it comes to keeping classic cars 100% original (bar the 12 volt conversion) The colour is panama
biege with dark maroon interior. i have penty of pictures on another computer so they will be up shortly.
i also hope to start posts for my fathers '61 beetle and his '73 kombi westfalia camper.

nice beetle for a 1st car..
with any luck you'll still have it in many years when you are much older and they'll only get harder to find..
