Summary
This 1966 VW Bug underwent a mild restoration in the early 2000s, retaining its original 1300cc/4-speed drivetrain, and was converted to a 12V system. While the bright red paint shows signs of age and minor damage, the mechanical, suspension, and electrical systems are in good working order, though the transmission pops out of second gear when coasting. The refurbished interior features TMI seats and original components, with some wear on the driver's seat.
