1965 Beetle Cabriolet
Owner:György 'George' Gombos, Budapest, Hungary


György Gombos is a long-time VW&Porsche enthusiast from Hungary. Following is the story of this Cabriolet..

"I bought this '65 convertible exactly 10 years ago in LA, Azusa and imported it myself to Hungary. Then restored it here, although there was not much to do to the body, was so straight and unrusty. I keep it in a garage since, driving it 10-15x a year. Its chassis no. is 155 215 003. You can judge by the attached photos that it is in nice shape, with mild custom stuff."

"The engine is a '67 1500 block with 1835 ccm pistons/cylinders, dual 48 Dellortos, front & rear adjustable, S&S Ralley exhaust (bought back in '89 at Johnny's Speed and Chrome in LA when they still existed), Personal steering wheel, Empi bumper guards (with inner reinforcement, not without!), G. Berg shifter, clutch and deep oil sump, etc., just too many things to list.."

Even though he never planned to part with the car, George is now putting the car for sale in order to move forward with new projects. If you're interested in having flat screen Cabriolet email George for more information.
