1967 VW Beetle Convertible For Sale
This is the very best example of a restored US spec 1967 Beetle convertible that I have ever seen.
The car is absolutely spectacular and the level and depth of the restoration is mind boggling.
The restorer of this car went in deep...real deep. The whole goal being to make it as accurate and perfect as possible
using all the correct original German parts from end to end. The more I looked at this car the more I became
damn near speechless about it...I tried to look for something wrong and just couldn't find it.
This beautiful 67 Beetle has come through the website once before
and it sold quickly for a record price and now it is returning for another pass.
The car is now located in Southern California , has remained in the same impeccable condition
and only a handful of miles added to the odometer since.
The photos above show it in front of the current owners home in California
and the photos below show the car in Arizona when I photographed it personally just a couple years back.
The color is one of the very best of the era...Java Green and it just looks like a jewel sitting there in the sunlight.
Located in Arizona at the time of these images, the car has now returned to Southern California where it was restored a number of years ago
and I remember when it was first completed and displayed at an event out here.
It just blew everyone away. The car looks as amazing now as it did when I first saw it.
It has traveled very minimal miles since completion, it is truly better than new.
It is a fully sorted car, runs and drives fantastic...turn key, ready to go
(or to show)
The restoration quality is unsurpassed...the fit and finish, the smoothness of the paint, etc...this is as good as it gets.
The car is stellar and all stock, numbers matching, etc.
If there is a part on this car, it is correct to the car and the period with the only exception
being the radial tires...however the width of the whitewall is period correct.
Look at that reflection!
Like an absolute mirror.
Details such as the wipers...its the right stuff.
Smooooooth!
Top is superb and correct.

Wheels are the proper 1966-67 slotted wide 5 rims with the flat caps and they are powder coated and painted

Rolling the windows up and down is a pleasure (that perhaps I got into just a wee too much...but damn it fent nice!)

The interior is spectacular as well...but more on that later.

The numbers matching facory 1500cc engine is perfection and correct down to the original German hose clamps
and everything...it is spectacular and runs superb.
OK...Im going to say that the spring should have been painted body color, not galvanized...anyone care to
dispute that? Regardless this is a nice touch.
Dust cover on the hood latch...when is the last time you saw one of these?
Wow...just wow.

Heres the sort of detail that I just go nuts seeing...the correct insulation material under the heat riser tins...
