The iconic shape, unmistakable charm, and timeless personality of the Volkswagen Beetle make it one of the most beloved classics ever produced, and this beautifully restored 1965 Volkswagen Beetle captures everything enthusiasts love about these cars. Finished in an eye-catching Almond Pearl and Metallic Brown two-tone exterior, this Beetle has been fully restored with just 417 miles driven since completion in 2025. Originally an Arizona car, this VW benefits from years spent in a dry climate before undergoing its meticulous restoration, helping preserve the integrity of the body and chassis. The result is a Beetle that presents exceptionally well from every angle while maintaining the vintage styling that made these cars world famous.

Powering this Beetle is its reliable and economical 1200cc air-cooled flat-four engine paired with a smooth-shifting 4-speed manual transmission. Simple, durable, and easy to enjoy, the driving experience is exactly what a classic Beetle should be—lightweight, engaging, and full of character. A 12-volt conversion has also been completed, offering improved reliability and usability while maintaining the classic appeal. Whether cruising through town, heading to a local car show, or simply enjoying a sunny weekend drive, this Beetle delivers smiles everywhere it goes.

Inside, the restoration continues with a clean and inviting cabin that perfectly complements the exterior color combination. The iconic Beetle dashboard, simple controls, and vintage styling all remain intact, while the factory-style sliding sunroof adds an extra level of open-air enjoyment that makes this classic even more desirable. The fit and finish throughout reflect the care and attention that went into the restoration, making this Beetle an ideal addition for collectors, enthusiasts, or anyone looking for a fun and approachable vintage classic.

Lovingly restored and tastefully finished, this 1965 Volkswagen Beetle combines timeless styling, dependable engineering, and nostalgic charm into one incredibly appealing package. Few classics are as instantly recognizable or universally loved as the Beetle, and this freshly restored example is ready to be enjoyed for years to come.
