Vehicle Description
The 1967 Volkswagen Beetle is already highly sought-after thanks to
some unique features only for this year. So to find one with sleek
paint and some well-placed upgrades means this is one for the true
Bug enthusiasts.
We all love the iconic streamlined Beetle shape, but you can
instantly tell this one was given extra attitude during
restoration. The paint was upgraded to a deep red/maroon that gives
you a sleek shine that radiates and draws added attention. And
that's what you want on a '67. These had special single-year
features. Up front it was the updated headlights that still had the
front vents, and in the rear the decklid was special for this one
year only. The chrome bumpers shine brightly (especially with the
overrides this year) and the classic luggage rack adds to the
brightwork. But it's those Fuchs-like 15-inch wheels that really
grab your attention with their polish.
While the Beetle is known for being simple to fix and maintain,
it's also a treat to see that someone made a quality investment in
restoring the interior. The seats, door panels, dash, and carpeting
make this an inviting atmosphere. You have the right 1967-specific
elements, like the rubberized dash knobs and the knob-less ash
tray. There are plenty of upgrades, but they have also been done
with care. Some are subtle, like the tach hidden in the glovebox.
Others are easier to spot, like the AM/FM/CD stereo with upgraded
speakers and modern Bluetooth.
This was also the year that the motor was upgraded to a 1500cc
unit, and so it's great to have an era-correct powerplant still
under the rear hatch. It has a clean and tidy presentation of good
care, and they way this one fires up and runs reaffirms its
well-maintained nature. The four-speed manual transmission puts you
in the center of the action for this mighty little powerhouse. And
this one feels particularly nice going down the road thanks to
upgrades like wide modern tires and front disc brakes.
This is a single-year Beetle that also has been done to look
bolder, feel more comfortable, and drive better. So you know it
makes for the ultimate classic VW. Call today!!!
