1967 VW Beetle Convertible For Sale
1967 was a year of change for the Beetle, being both the final year for many beloved attributes
such as the painted dashboard and "towel rail" bumpers. The progressive improvements
such as 12 volt electrics, 1500cc engine and the upright headlamps were welcome
changes to the model. Many of the details on the 67 model year were unique to that year only
and as a result are very popular with collectors and drivers alike.
The 67 is just a "magic" year in the Beetle range. I have owned a few and have experienced the difference.
They really are something special.
This example being a cabriolet of course makes it even more attractive.
The color is perfect for the era and the level of restoration of this particular car
is countless steps above the majority of what is normally on the market.
This restoration was a passion project for a couple of seasoned VW enthusiasts
that wanted to challenge themselves with restoring one to the highest level possible.
Its been a long and laborious project for them to chase all the tiny details
but the results are obvious as you go through these images. This car is stellar.
Nice touch of the "VW Parking Only" sign in the background...
Not only is the car impressive, the photography as well is just as well detailed.
Just so good...the colors, the stance, the black California plates
and the proper width whitewalls on the two tone wheels...wow.
In this shot you can see the car with the correct 1967 only wheel trim rings installed
These were NOS "New Old Stock" genuine VW items that were found in a collection and installed here for the very first time.
I like the look of the car both with them and without them honestly.
OK, lets dive in to the details here and Ill point out the highlights as I see them.
The accessory "trip" speedometer jumps out first as well as the AM/FM radio.
German square weave carpets are superbly fitted.

Cant get much nicer than this eh?
One of the best parts to me about this car is that prior to the restoration, the car was in fantastic condition.
This is not a case of a really rough and rusty damaged car being fixed up, this car was a true "virgin"
and the perfect base car to start with. No rust, no wrecks, everything was in very solid and straight condition
and the end result here has 90% of the parts being original to the car.
All sheet metal is original to the car, the engine, trans and front end, all are the ones the car left the factory with.
When you start with a firm foundation such as this, a true solid California original
that has never been damaged, rusted or modified in any way, it not only
helps as a restorer in doing the job authentically, it also is a huge factor
in how well the car lasts as the years pass by. No repairs to bubble to the surface
and no issues with poor quality replacement parts. It is almost entirely original German equipment on the car.
The more you look...them more impressive the car becomes.
OK...lets get back into some more details on the top side now.
