I have personally owned this beautiful 67 VW Beetle for 16 years. It has been completely restored and is only driven in nice weather to local cruise-ins and car shows. It is very difficult for me to let it go, but life goes on and It's time for someone else to love and enjoy this car. The car is what I would call a resto-mod or resto-custom. It has a stock appearing engine, but has been built up considerably on the inside to support future mods if desired. The paint is a beautiful Porsche Guards Red in PPG Base/Clear. The body is very solid. The only metal repair that was needed was a new passenger side floor pan due to some minor rust in the battery tray. Instead of patching the floor, I replaced the entire floor pan at the factory seams for a factory appearance. The restoration is approximately 5 years old with less than 1700 fair weather miles. Many collectors consider the 67 beetle to be one of the most collectible VW's ever made. 1967 was a special year for VW Beetle. It was the first year for a 12 volt system as prior years were all 6 volt. However it still retained the styling of the earlier beetles such as the painted dash with the chrome trim. 67 was the last year for this as in 68 they went to a padded dash. VW retained the 5 lug wheels in 67 as well as the more stylish chrome bumpers and horn grills below the headlights. Here are some of the details Exterior Paint is Porsche Guards Red PPG Base/Clear Wheels are chromed VW with Porsche style hubcaps. Bumpers are Euro stye blade Inner fenders and trunk area painted slick to match body Trim is polished or new Interior Stock restored interior in off white basket weave style Gauges have been restored Factory Saphire radio still works properly Engine and transmission 1641cc displacement New VW supercase DRP forged German counterweighted 69mm crankshaft Mahle forged pistons Bugpack cam grind 4062-10 Reworked stock heads Rebuilt VW rods Nicely restored Solex 30 Pict 1 carburetor Rancho rebuilt VW transaxle GT big tip exhaust system (sounds much better than stock) Chassis Front lowered by adjustable front beam Restored drum brakes that work great.

Thanks for bidding!
