It's a '65 Bug, it's not complicated. They are simple small cars that are very popular and fairly easy to work on and find parts for. Thank you for looking and good luck.
A small summary of some questions that were asked.
Title: I have clear Ohio title in my name.
Snow exposure: None since I've owned it (1.5 years) but I got the car from Delaware. Car had been sitting for some time, you could tell by looking.
Floor repair: Mostly under front seats and some where front pass. feet go (toe area). Was fixed some by me some by previous owner(s) with sheet metal. Replacement pans were not purchased, just patched up the floor to make it solid.
Headliner: Headliner is all there with NO rips/holes or tears. It's just soiled/dirty. Worst part is the separate pcs. around the rear window and qtr. windows. Those pcs. are separate from the headliner though. Most VW bugs have that issue.
Muffler: I installed brand new stock muffler with new chrome tail pipes which were like the originals.
I did install a brand new master cylinder as the old one was leaking fluid. Works fine now.
It's a good little car. Thanks for all the interest and questions and continued good luck with the auction.
