People don't get me, Leaving The Florida Gulf coast peek season to Drive Home(( Rual deep South) in A questionable OLD car....."It's a 67 VW, Found it on EBAY I already Know it's over priced" When I carefully lowered it, Down off the trailer they silently smiled as did I. My old friend is Finally HOME , This TIME we will get it RIGHT. I'm Not Just planning to use my Vdub like WE all did in Orange County Ca. "back in the day" Not , Light My Fire or that New GUY, Eric Clapton. Beach Buy's Come ON man I was A Local Back In The Day....But I STILL do LOVE Those Good VIB'S

I'm interested. I have a 67 bug that I've owned for 34 years. I bought my first Bug in 1972 when I was 16. It was a 66 Bug. Also a very good year. I almost immediately knew I wanted a 67. I had a 67 Westphalia before this Bug. I've had three 67 Bugs in all. I even found the one year only radio knobs. I've been looking for them for 34 years. It took 17 years to find the set (and radio) I have now and I haven't come across another set yet. The one year only stuff is both my favorite part and sometimes very frustrating. I had to buy a reproduction front fender one time after hitting a deer and not being able to find an original. No internet back then. What a piece of junk. I did finally get an original. _________________ 67 Bug owned since 1982 |

Here's my new-to-me '67 Sedan. I've owned two '66s; one handed down from my parents around 1969 and one I bought in the '70s.
Good times ahead.

Someone could have installed it.
The black thing on the back is a voltage converter so the radio is probably still 6v. |
Thanks for the reply Everett i didnt think about that..... |

I apologize for the long wait. Military has been a struggle lately getting free time. I'm at a stage where I have a lot of free time so every couple weeks i'll update the list. since I updated it last year I only have about 13 new which I haven't checked my pms yet. So if I only get one or two a week I might shift to monthly so I have a schedule and it won't fall off my plate. Again sorry for the long wait I'm updating as we I post this. _________________ 61 Type 1 Patina

Hi all,
I just bought an other 1967 beetle. It been restore a few year back and never been driven. New engine (1641cc), new trans, nes nearly everything.
Its not been restore correctly everywhere but it will be a good driver during the time that I restore my other, number match, 1967 beetle.

Someone help Stephane with some less horrid wheels, how is it possible to color match the wheels of a 50 year old red car?
This car looks nice, but it would improve about 100% with the proper Black and white OG paint job on the wheels. Good luck! _________________ 1973 1303S w sunroof Click to view image
