Bought another air-cooled car... kind of a Porsche
I picked up this 1964 Beetle last week in SoCal. Black plate California car from new. Kind of a Porsche... we'll designed by Porsche...

How nice!
Just looking at the pics brings back memories. Like that **** between the hand brake and shifter; that was the heater control if I remember. Then there is the hood release on the left under the dash. Also the mechanical fuel gauge. I take it it still has the 6V system which went to 12V in 1967.
Would that have been a 1200 or 1300 motor? With the Bosch blue coil, it must really go.

Jason - great looking bug!
I had a 65 when I was 19... It was a slightly darker shade than yours & the body area under the stainless trim line was a maroon color - I even had the same front parcel shelf... I lowered mine & put a set of 16" Fuchs on it with cream wall tires. The rear luggage area is a serious bass bin!!! That car got me more girls than any other.
Enjoy.

This 64 has an awesome if undriveable stance and what can I say about the wheels?!?!? If mine didn't have the wide bolt pattern I'd go with a set of Fuchs but such is not the case...

That is a sweetheart, be a shame to start customizing it
That is a little jewel. Please don't do any modifications that can't be reversed. There are plenty of others not so pristine to customize.
Nice find, though! Jeff
