If you've not listened to the "Let's Talk Dubs" podcast on the '67 only differences, it's worth doing. Frenchy Dehoux and Dean Kirsten go into great detail about most...but not all...the one year only differences on the '67. I sure learned a few new things about the minutia of 1967 beetles. Episode 161

Yep.. Some good stuff although I heard a couple of mistakes.

Just got a 67 a couple weeks ago. 117358541 I wish I knew what this color was, I have a new hood and fender to paint up. I believe the original color was a red of some sort. You can kinda see some red showing through under the dash. If anyone know what this color is called please chime in  Other than that it has some decent bones. 1600 dp with no serial number stamp.

Whatever that color is, pretty sure it's not a factory color. Of course, they were never in two tone either. Custom total repaint. |

I just realized after all this time that I don't think I ever added my convertible to the Registry. I thought I did years ago, but apparently I didn't...

I thought I had registered my car when I got it, but dont see it on the PDF on the first page...no biggie . Vin# 117-201-616 Early to Mid Sept. 66 and I think the OG engine HO-398663 match up time wise from the info I have found. Originally Java Green but with a poor re-paint of a darker green, other than the Driver side front fender I think all the other fenders and doors are OG to the car. I avoided buying a 67 over the years as I didnt want to hassle with all of the one-year parts associated with the 67s, it really hasnt been that bad finding parts for repairs or up grades . I havent wanted to get a Birth Cefitifacate, as the ones I have seen lately are not as informative as years ago. A photo of the car when I got it and a fairly recent one also, Iam trying to go with an early Rally Bug theme. Thanks

Sorry I didn't see this til now Big Bill. I'll add this to the registry. |
Thank You Jos. Hall for adding my car and for maintaining the 67 site.  This is an updated photo of my car...Thanks

If it is the original dark red, and it's a sedan, it will be Ruby Red L456. Convertibles could be had in Ruby and Poppy red L54. |

Found the last of the missing motor items that would be correct for '67 at recent swaps here in SoCA. Surprisingly for very little cash($35 total) I still need to either find or make/buy the carb brace. The pilot jet is a bit bent from someone dropping the carb on the solenoid, so I need to find a good one. Does anyone have an extra I can buy?
Short black 12V Coil (115C)
SVA Distributer (205K)

Although you scored a nice Bosch "short" coil, the one you have is for a 1971 model year according to the Bosch number = 0 221 114 014. The date code "131" would be for around Nov. 1971 manufacture.
For a '67 type1 the number would be 0 221 114 004, and the 3 digit date stamp code will be 608 (start of 12v in Aug. 1966) through 707 (end of 1967 model year production, July 1967). Your date stamp 131 is the in "newer" Bosch date code system which started around '71
I know this is hair splitting minutia, but if you're absolutely dead-set on having the "correct" components for your '67, then keep searching for the proper date stamp range and Bosch number. Otherwise, if it checks out in functionality, smile and move on...
As far as the carb / air cleaner bracket goes, there was someone on eBay not too long ago who tooled up and made some decent looking repops of it, and also for other years as well. I still have my original, so I never bought one. Not sure if he's currently listing them any more, but maybe worth a shot to take a look...

Thank you for the clarification. All I could see on the day was the Bosch P/N(way too dirty). So the VW number is the same? And I need between 608 and 707. LOL, this should be fun. Haha. This is the only "short" coil I saw at all three shows(OCTO,Classic,BugIn) I don't hold out hope for this one working as it was very oily(leaking?). The seller said both the carb and the coil came off the same car...a '67<shrug>. Replacement coil from '71??
I hate to be "that" guy, but it is sort of fun treasure hunting for these "correct" items. If it works I'll use it until I can find the one from '67. Other than the P/N, are they the same size/shape?
Thanks again.
Oh, I just noticed you have a DKW. My Grandfather bought one brand new back in the late 50's. He apparently had a love-hate relationship with it and its temperamental 2 stroke. Haha. He sold it before I arrived in '64. Here is a pic of my mom and Grandmother in front of it and the '57 Chev. vert. in the late 50's or early 60's. Sadly those cars are long gone from our family

The short coils are all the same in size configuration and shape. (maybe some variables in the (-) 1 and (+) 15 spade connectors, some have 2, some have 3) I have a couple with a Bosch # of 0 221 114 006 , one with date stamp 611 (Nov.'66) and one with date stamp 701 (Jan.'67) but BOTH with VW #311 905 115 - ostensibly fitted for a Type3! Note that there were also identical looking 6v short coils as well. I don't think many would notice or care or even SEE those coded numbering identifiers. All that's noticed is that it's a 12v 'short coil' which is proper for the '67. If yours is functional, paint it up nice and pretty, slap a Bosch 12v sticker on it, and just use it!
It's entirely possible that 4 or 5 years into the life of the 67 VW that your components came from, an off the shelf replacement coil was installed in 1972 or thereabouts. They DO occasionally fail! Ergo, the seller stating that both the carb and coil (ultimately) came from the same car...
I apologize in advance if it seems to appear I'm hijacking this thread, but WOW! Thanks for the links to your grandparent's DKW and '57 Chevy! Just beautiful! Judging by what I can see from the photos, I'd say the DKW is a '59. I see it has the Peter Satori Pasadena plate frame too!!! He was the early main importer for Southern California back in the 50's and 60's for a lot of British cars, DKW, BMW, Alfa Romeo, some rare Italian exotics, and later Rolls Royce. I've actually found that the 2 stroke DKW isn't all that "tempermental"...at least not as much as my 2.0L 1967 Porsche 911S was back in the day! I've never fouled a plug in the DKW, but had plug fouling issues in the early 911's and 356's I've owned. Again, thanks for sharing those pics!
Happy treasure hunting!

I bought a 67 yesterday from the original owner, 117694795. Had a motor replacement in the 80s due to an engine fire. When you look where the shop replacing the burned up motor put the fuel filter you have to wonder.

Great info. I would fall down laughing if someone took a dental mirror and flashlight to the bottom of the coil at a meet/show. Maybe I'll do that at some show and not say a thing  Haha. Seriously, many thanks for all the detail.
It's my pleasure re: the pics. I only heard the stories of the DKW and his issues with it. He was many things in his life(that's him in the second photo). A menswear catalog model, Lockheed draftsman(P38 war bird during the war), real estate broker, landscape designer, dry cleaning business owner/operator etc. The one thing he was not was a mechanic. LOL. I never could get a clear picture of what the car was having issues with, but let's just say it left him and my grandmother stranded one too many times. What model is that? It's a cool/cute-looking little thing. Do you have one? I do remember him saying he bought it new up in Pasadena.
The '57 Chevy was my Mom and Dad's right after they got married. I always thought of trying to get one and restore it for them, but well you've seen '57 vert prices now, right? Doh.
Anyway, great to revisit those photos, currently as I type my Mom at 87 is in hospice suffering from Lewy body dementia. It will be days I think. Nice to see her in her prime and know she has had a wonderful life. |

I tried searching and NO hits .
My driver's side 1967 seat won't hold the back adjustment .
Is there some simple fix for this ? .
I have need for it to remain in the up right position permanently and was considering drilling a hole and adding a screw, surely there's a common fix for this common problem .
TIA,

Guys, I think I'm caught up with the original registry. If you haven't submitted your car, please feel free to PM me and I'll add it. Life has stabilized somewhat to where I can up date them every couple days.
Thanks
jos
PS. I'm not caught up on the Jalopy one, as nice as it is to be able to include a photo and some more details. I'm going to stick to the original at the moment. It's just a little easier to maintain.
