Location: between the beach and H-town...
Specs:
Throwing mine out here, go easy on me fellas... :D

History on car goes, a former HAC member (Bo) was selling this on the Samba, which I turned on a buddy (Will) to purchase. After a few years of carb issues, gave up... sold off the 2110 motor to another friend (Max) and I purchased the 65 Ragtop for myself. Now adding my 6th VW to the collection (74 T1, 69 Ghia, 70 T1, 00 NB, 02 GTI VR6). I sat this one out for a bit... Put it up in storage, along with some others.

Now, new motor, new rims, new fiance... ready to clean it up and roll out.

Specs:
1965 Type 1 - Matching numbers
Folding Ragtop
2275cc motor
Dual CB EFI Fuel Injection
Freeway flyer tranny
6 inch narrowed beam
Airshocks out back
