Samba Feature VW - 1967 Beetle

When fourteen year old Devin Kusler of Lakeside California, told his dad he wanted a VW for his first car, the two started searching.  They soon found this 1967 Beetle.  That was a little more than three years ago and since then, Devin and his dad have worked together to fix it up and convert it to a Cal-Look Beetle.  He calls this daily driver his pride and joy.

After purchasing the Bug, Devin and his dad took it apart and sent it for minor body work and to get it painted.  Both the interior and exterior are now Savana Beige.  After the painting was complete, father and son reassembled it at home, installing new rubber, new trim, and running boards.  Most of the parts were supplied by VeeParts in El Cajon, CA.  The previous owner replaced the original front seats with seats from a '68 for safety reasons.  Devin and his dad had them reupholstered in black, with seat covers added for comfort. 

The engine is a very strong 1600 dual port with a new racing cam.  The front end is lowered via 2� inch dropped spindles.  In the future, Devin plans to install dual Kadron carbs and add a Phat Boy exhaust.

Devin would like to thank his parents for letting him have the car, and especially his dad, who worked hard to help him fix it up.

Thanks Devin, for letting us feature your first VW!
