Original 1967 1500cc Muffler Restoration
harrymarlin
I decided to get what I believe is the original muffler on my 1967 Beetle (1500cc engine) restored. The tips were rusted out, but had a VW stamp on them. The muffler had a large dent with a hole, and a lot of surface rust. I contacted 4 different companies around the country which looked like they might do it. Only Specialty Cars in Pennsylvania expressed interest (and they were enthusiastic) about it. They did a boor scope review, first, then cut it open.
These photos show after the blasting cabinet, facing up.

This picture is of the inner tubes, from a boor scope inserted into the muffler before it was disassembled.

This picture is from one side (the dented side), before the inside was blasted.

This is after blasting, and the only finding of rust - two holes on the pre-heat tube, not quite all the way through (started from the outside, not inside).

Trim comparison with 1967 running boards
harrymarlin
I noticed slight differences between the trim on what I believe is my original 1967 Beetle convertible, OEM running board trim, and trim from Airhead VW parts (all aluminum anodized).

The rear luggage shelf carpet of a 1967 convertible. Garwood suggests this may be original carpet (gray, harder squareweave). Need to verify.

Lobster Claw rear seat belts from 1971 Super Beetle
harrymarlin
Lobster claw rear seat belts from 1971 Super Beetle (two sets from 1971, another from unknown).
Belts: part 111 857 709 (American Safety model F5070 and F5071)
Rings: part 111 857 739 (American Safety model F5070 and F0171). NOTE: is it odd one ring model number matches one belt model number?
No year is noted, although the model number may indicate the year. I may put these in my 1967 Beetle convertible as they appear to mirror the front lobster claw seat belts.
