You are looking at a fully restored, ready to drive, show, enjoy 1966 VW Beetle continuously registered California "Black Plate" car. This car is and has always been a rust free example.
All major components have been replaced or restored. It is literally too much to list. Think of this as a car that was completely disassembled an then built as it was in 1966 only with upgraded parts and pieces. Inspect the car or have someone look at it for you. The last owner spent over $18,000 on the restoration with $5500 spent on the motor alone. The motor was done by Pete at HBVW in Huntington Beach, California and this is essentially a "Porsche" VW. Complete EMPI components with rev limiter, clutch, transmission etc upgrades. This car doesn't only "keep up with traffic" traffic has to keep up with it. The car drives, shifts, stops better than it ever did in '66.
Note the Kenwood Stereo with custom CS speaker tray that DOES NOT affect the stock restoration as it is all a "lift out" package.
Cosmetically the exterior is overall in very good to excellent condition. There are a few rock chips that have been nicely touched up. The chrome bumpers/over riders and stainless are excellent as is all the bright work. The body is straight with no "waves" or dings. The enterior is correct and excellent. The glass is new. The tires are as new.
Everything works although the gas gauge is sporadic and I intend to have it repaired prior to delivery.
This car sounds like a Porsche 356 "Outlaw" but looks bone stock to the casual observer...speaking of which this car draws a crowd wherever it goes, so don't go to Starbucks unless you want to have a conversation.
It's ready for summer fun and literally could be driven every day.
I welcome inspections before you bid or buy but understand if you bid and win you own this car as this is a LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT. I stopped advertising on Ebay a couple of years ago because I grew tired of DREAMERS and people that thought this was a video game. I am happy to answer any and all questions.
Bottom line, this is a great car ready to be enjoyed.

Volkswagen throws a Polo-palooza with four new or upgraded models
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen unveiled a parade of new and upgraded Polo models at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, including the Polo TSI BlueMotion, Polo TDI BlueMotion, Polo BlueGT and CrossPolo (pictured above). While they will likely never make an appearance this side of the pond, it is fun to see what European subcompact drivers will be driving later this year.
The new BlueMotion models represent the most efficient petrol and diesel options in their class, according to VW. The BlueMotion TDI offers just 73 horsepower from its diesel engine but gives the equivalent of 76 miles per gallon (US) in the EU test. The BlueMotion TSI brings a little more power with its 88-hp petrol engine and has a combined rating of 57 mpg (US) in the EU cycle.
The Polo BlueGT provides a balance of performance and economy, and for the 2014 model, it gains a 9-horsepower boost to its 1.4-liter turbocharged to give drivers 147 hp at the press of the accelerator. This year's car also has an optional Sport Select suspension with electronically controlled dampers to improve handling a bit. It's still fitted with active cylinder management to use as little gas as possible when cruising.
Weekly Recap: Volkswagen moves forward under Muller
Sat, Sep 26 2015Most stunning was the speed of it all. On the morning of September 18, Volkswagen AG stood atop the automotive world. It was profitable and sold more cars than Toyota and General Motors, its two main rivals for global supremacy. By nightfall, the company would be embroiled in scandal. Revelations the German auto giant cheated on diesel emissions testing in the United States reverberated from Washington to Wolfsburg, Germany. What started out as a problem with 482,000 VWs and Audis in the US exploded into an international scandal. Millions of vehicles have the rigged software, meaning VW broke environmental rules as its cars spewed pollutants all over the world. The fallout began immediately. Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn – one of the most respected and capable executives in the business – apologized on Sunday and Tuesday. On Wednesday he resigned. As the week progressed, the company's stock took a beating and credit agencies threatened to drop their ratings. VW dealers and owners said they felt betrayed. The automaker hired a law firm that defended BP after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The EPA is already extending its testing procedures to look for "defeat devices" like the ones used by Volkswagen. On Friday the company announced a major restructuring. Matthias Muller, Porsche's chief for the last five years, took over as CEO of Volkswagen and is charged with picking up the pieces of a shattered company facing regulatory action and lawsuits. With GM, Toyota, and Takata scandals still fresh, Volkswagen will likely experience unprecedented levels of scrutiny. Additionally, VW's markets in the United States, Canada, and Mexico will be combined into a North American region under the leadership of former Skoda boss Winfried Vahland, though US chief executive Michael Horn will stay on. The company is also realigning its brands by specialty and streamlining its board. Firings, government action, restructurings, and international outrage – things that usually build up over months or years – all occurred in about a week. With dizzying speed, Volkswagen's future has changed dramatically. It all happened, it's still happening, so fast. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Buick Cascada to start at $33,990 Buick hasn't made a convertible in 25 years. That's a whole person who can drink plus a kindergartner. So it's been awhile. Enter the 2016 Buick Cascada. It has top-shelf Opel engineering, slinky design, and it's reasonably priced.
