This is a very desirable 1965 Volkswagen Double Cab in very original unmolested condition. This Double Cab is solid in every way! Uncut, unaltered, and still wears all its original body front to back top to bottom including the dash, the doors, floor, roof, body panels, frame, engine hatch, and the fold down bed gates. Motor and transmission are original too. Absolutely NO RUST ANYWHERE (except very minimal rustat the bottom of the gates). Theyare howevercompletely intact. Very little needs to be done to get the gates in perfect order. In fact I would just leave them alone. They do not need repair. Again every panel front to back top to bottom including the dash,floor, the roof, the doors, frame, gates, and anything else you can think of is original to this Double Cab. Totally unmolested! Iused a magnet on every part of every panelprior to purchasing it checking for rust or body filler. I could not find anywhere that the magnet I used would not stickto.
It has been painted inside and outabout 25 years ago and shows well with its share of patina. The type of patina I am talking about is the type that one would like to see in a VW like this one. The patina gives it great character and I bet you would agree if you would take the time to see it in person. It has been garaged for at least the last 25 years by the previous owner. A fantastic stand up honest guy who lives in a very upscale neighborhood and really loved this unique VW. He and his wife hadtheir fun and decided to let it go when I inquired about it at a local car show. They are in their 70's now and wanted to let go of a few things. Since buying this Double Cab Iwent to Lake Havasu, AZ and bought a boat on a whim that the family wants even more so this has to go unfortunately.
Now back to this VW. Everything and I mean everything works perfectly. It idles and runs like a Swiss watch. The transmission shifts like butter and it tracks like it was new. Brakes feel perfect and are very effective. No mechanical issues at all. All the gauges, wipers, lights, blinkers, stereo, and everything else you can think of work as they should. It was also converted to a 12-volt. It does come with a canvas cover that covers the rear rack which seems to be the onlything that is not originalon this entire VW Double Cab. This was very well taken care of. It needs nothing. Just turn the key and go! It really is a pleasure to drive. The original key is still used to start this vehicle and to unlock the doors. The original key for the engine compartment and for the fuel door is also still with the vehicle. This vehicle is awesome in every way. You can't get more original!
