1964 Volkswagen Beetle

1964 Volkswagen Beetle Coupe – Original Driver, Himmelblau Blue, 1192cc

Offered here is a 1964 Volkswagen Beetle Coupe, finished in Himmelblau with a white and blue interior. This example remains largely original in presentation and character, retaining its 6-volt system, original interior materials, and period-correct 40hp flat-four engine.

The Beetle was repainted approximately 5 years ago, at which time all window and door gaskets were replaced. The paint still shows well today with good depth and shine, though there are small chips and scratches in various areas. The chrome trim and bumpers, including front and rear bumperettes, are in great condition. All glass remains in great shape, and new headlights, markers, and taillights have been fitted, though the right rear lens does show a crack. The car rides on 15-inch chrome wheels wrapped in Coker Classic wide whitewall tires, complementing its classic look.

Inside, the Beetle retains much of its original charm. The cabin is finished in a white and blue theme with cloth bucket seats, the original white VW steering wheel, and a period AM/FM radio still in place. A Ra-Bambus wicker shelf is mounted under the dash, adding a vintage flair. The interior presents well overall, though it shows its age with wear such as staining on the passenger seat sides, a tear in the passenger door panel, paint chips on the seat brackets, and areas of paint chipping on the dash. The original headliner remains intact, and the car's interior feels honest and period-correct.

Power comes from a period-correct 1192cc 40hp flat-four, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The engine bay retains an original look, with a newer carburetor and distributor cap installed for reliability. The motor starts easily, runs smoothly, and the undercarriage displays normal signs of use and wear consistent with age. A spare tire is mounted in the front trunk, though it does not currently hold air. All other tires are in good condition.

This Beetle represents a true driver-condition classic, original in character, mechanically simple, and immediately usable. With its Himmelblau paint, wide whitewalls, and period-correct details, it delivers the timeless style and charm that has made the Beetle one of the most beloved cars in automotive history.
