AI Listing Summary
A beautifully restored 1964 Volkswagen Beetle 1200, enthusiast-owned with tasteful, reversible upgrades. This classic Beetle features a body-off restoration from 2012 and has been recently recommissioned, presenting exceptionally well in black with a white interior.
Condition
8
The car has undergone a comprehensive, body-off, bare-metal restoration in 2012 and has seen very little use since. While the paint has minor imperfections like swirling and orange peel, and there's a small amount of corrosion on the passenger door, the overall presentation is beautiful. The interior is tastefully refurbished and in good shape, and the mechanics have been recently recommissioned. The condition is excellent, requiring only minor cosmetic attention.

Continuously improved since its 1954 debut, the 1964 model year benefited from key updates, including modifications to the front trailing arms and steeri...
