introduced to the world after World War II, the Volkswagen Beetle
has been one of the longest running, mass-production vehicles ever
manufactured. Continually improved upon year after year, millions
of buyers would find reasons to own what become affectionately
known as the Bug at some point in their lifetime. By the 1960s, the
Bug would truly hit its stride for Americans, and some would
quickly point out the 1967 model year as one the finest version to
own in your collection today. Improvements by this year include
larger 1500cc engine, fully synchronized transmission, turn signal
housings, front sway bar, reverse lights, an actual fuel gauge in
the dash, 12-volt generator charging system, hydraulic steering
dampener, interior door armrests, door lock knobs, 2-speed wipers,
sealed beam headlamps with chrome bezels, Solex carburetion with an
electric choke, along with a larger clutch & improved flywheel!
Some one-year only attributes include the unique 1967 bumper
overriders front & rear plated in chrome! 1967 Volkswagen Type 1

example comes with a remarkable ownership history known from new.
Selling originally to William Herald of Nashville, TN, it remained
in his possession until passing it on to his daughter. Prior to
doing so, with approximately 150,000 miles on the odometer, the car
was completely stripped to its bare foundation and fully restored
from the ground up. Any rust in the body was removed, while
installing all new floor pans, it was chemically dipped, metal
etched, then epoxy primered before applying new base coat/clear
coat paint in red. The engine was fully rebuilt, new clutch
installed, all new suspension & braking components, along with
fresh window seals, all new black interior, chrome trim & bumpers,
and more! The daughter would maintain this Beetle regularly year
after year, only adding 6,000 miles or so over the next 12 years of
ownership. It would finally sell from this original Tennessee
family in 2012 when St. Louis local, Bill Brady, would take over
its meticulous care. Over the past 6 years, it received routine
valve adjustments, oil changes, new shock absorbers, new exhaust
system with chrome tips, heat exchanger, rebuilt carburetor, new
ignition system, new starter, new steering box, motor mounts, new
tires, upper & lower ball joints with tie rod ends! It was
continued to be driven when weather allowed, adding approximately
15,000 miles during his 6 years of ownership! Today, it continues
to show exceptionally well, with only a few criticisms to the
cosmetics. Mechanical outstanding, it drives just excellent and
will come with all original VW maintenance log book, past service
records, workshop repair book, and extra keys! A remarkable example
to say the least, and an instant hit for spectators on the road or
at car shows! We recommend acting quickly on this one!
