Featured on AutoHunter, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this restored 1966 Volkswagen Beetle 1300.
“During the restoration process, the Ruby Red body’s patina was left intact,” the listing states. “Features include chrome bumpers with overriders, a driver-side mirror, a luggage rack, rubber-covered running boards, a single-piece rear window, and dual exhaust outlets.”
The interior features new white vinyl seat covers, door panels, and matching headliner complemented by black carpeting and body-color sheet metal. Amenities include a Bendix Sapphire I push-button radio, and a hidden Bluetooth audio system with four two-way coaxial speakers and a subwoofer.
This VW’s five-digit analog odometer shows 42 miles, reflective of the mileage accrued since the restoration was completed. The actual mileage on this Beetles’ chassis is unknown.
It’s powered by a 1,285-cc flat-four engine with a single-barrel carburetor. The engine is paired with a four-speed manual transmission.
The selling dealer states that the suspension has been upgraded. This Volkswagen Beetle rides on 15-inch five-spoke wheels with 135R15 Nankang CX668 front and 165/80R15 all-season rear tires.
The sale includes a clear title and a skateboard.

I have a 1949 VW Sprit window I shipped back to the US back in 1989. I think it’s time to provide it to a new family.
Please advise if there’s a interest in the Unit. It’s stored and restored.
Should this have read 1949 SPLIT window, as in type 2 Kombi? More info please, including your needs about this vehicle.
