Exterior:
The exterior presents well, free from rust or unsightly bodywork.
While there are some dents, scratches, and touchups as expected for
its age, it still looks quite good. It appears to have been
resprayed within the last 25 years, with some mild overspray on the
rubber trim. The paintwork is satisfactory and consistent. OEM
glass is present throughout, with a replacement windshield noted.
The trim and hardware kit are intact and in good condition, as are
the bumpers, though some dry trim pieces could be replaced. The
panel fitment is nice and consistent. The car still sports its
original dealer badge. The tires are in good shape and perform well
on the road. The lights appear largely original and function
properly. There are some door dings on the right-hand side, likely
from garage storage. Overall, this Beetle presents nicely and is
ready to be enjoyed on the road and at events.
Interior:
The interior is in beautiful condition, with black vinyl seats
looking fantastic both front and back. The carpets are in good
condition, and the door panels and hardware look great. The dash is
original, down to the non-functioning radio. The gauges work
properly and look great. The headliner has some patched holes and
could benefit from being redone at some point, though it is
currently taut and acceptable. All switches work properly and are
in good condition.
Underside:
The underside is solid and dry, with a small repaired spot under
the battery tray area, likely from an older unsealed acid battery
leak. The unibody is structurally sound from front to back. The
engine bay is clean and tidy, featuring a replacement 1600cc 126
Industrial Flat 4. While we don't know when the engine was swapped,
it appears professionally done.
On The Road:
Driving this Beetle is an absolute blast. It runs beautifully, free
from smoke and excessive noise. It has good power, idles, and revs
perfectly, with easy cold starts. The clutch feels great, and the
transmission shifts smoothly between gears. Braking is good and
straight, and the car tracks nicely, feeling safe and fun on the
road.
Conclusion:
This 1967 Volkswagen Beetle is a charming and well-preserved
example of automotive history. With its solid mechanics,
well-maintained interior, and appealing exterior, it offers a
delightful driving experience. Whether you're a vintage car
enthusiast or simply looking for a fun and reliable classic to
enjoy on the road and at events, this Beetle is ready for its next
adventure. Don't miss the opportunity to own this iconic piece of
automotive heritage.
