1967 Beetle Convertible For Sale

The 67 Beetle is well known as being one of the best years for a Beetle. It is also a unique year
which features many special parts that are "67 only", and perhaps that is a part of it's appeal.

This example is as about as nice as you could ever hope to find.
It has received a full pan off every nut and bolt restoration and it's all like new.
In fact I would argue that this car is better than new...they were never like this when they rolled off the assembly line.

To start with this was an original California car that was straight and solid.
It still retains it's original black California plates front and back to prove it.
(In California, the plates stay with the car...so having original plates helps prove it's history).

Wherever possible original German parts were used.
In the case of the bumpers, clean originals were re-chromed front and back to a dazzling finish.
Even the backside of the bumper is polished!
H-4 headlights have been installed for brighter lighting (and they look cool too!)

Under the front hood is spotless.
Matching BRM wheel and new tire. Ultra clean wiring, detailed fuel tank and more.

I always like to see a matching spare...so many folks dont go there...

Many detail parts have been chrome plated like this hood latch.

Super clean and proper up here.

No signs of any damage or repair to the front end.
The stock jack is included with the sale but was not installed during the photos.

Looking good.

Everything was left clean and bare in the front end to show the quality of what is here...not covered with
carpet or hidden by trunk lining.

Fuel guage sender cap was chromed as well.

Gas cap too.

Bottom side of hood shows smooth and pretty.

It's a VW...says so right here!
(in case there was any doubt)

German Hella lenses.

Original Karmann body badge.
Check out the reflection in the paint here...this is one NICE paint job!

All new window rubber and weatherstripping inside and out.
Windshield glass is a genuine VW part...unfortunately my photo didnt show the stamp...but it's there.

Nice looking ride.

The classic BRM's with low profiles up front.


Big beefy 205-60 15 tires out back.
And good quality near new rubber.

Body panels are mirror straight.
It takes a skilled body guy to get a black paint job right...and this guy did it.

Excellent chrome.


German Hella Euro taillight lenses too...
This sort of detail says a lot to me about the quality of the car.
The German ones are far more expensive than the aftermarket ones and are a heck of a lot harder to find too.
Someone that goes to this extent to hunt down the best parts isnt likely to have scrimped on the important stuff.

The original black plates were left original and untouched...so they have a little patina.
The registration is now current on the car and the paperwork is all in order. The car has a clean clear title.

OK...here is where it gets fun.
No stocker 1500cc unit in there, this is a pro built 2110 cc powerplant with all the goodies.
Ported and polished heads, Gene Berg deep sump and oil pump with external filter.
Kymco fully ceramic coated full flow heater boxes and exhaust.
It is freshly built and runs like a stripe assed ape.
Talk about a fun driver... yeee haw!!

The engine compartment is clean.
Detail of the carb.


Deep sump on the engine, fully functional heater with ceramic coated heater boxes.

Pro-Street gearbox by Rancho with all the top of the line bits.
All clean and detailed.

Floor pan is stunningly smooth and clean.

Adjustable front beam, front sway bar, KYB GR2 shocks and all of it ultra clean.
Note how all the nuts and bolts are new and shiny...gotta love that!

Disc brakes up front.

Back out in the sun I think you can now see that this is no normal 67 Convertible we are dealing with.

Inside the quality and attention to detail continue.
Empt GT wood rimmed steering wheel, ultra stock and clean dashboard

Excellent fit and finish to the seats.
3 point retractable seat belts installed for safety.

Rear seat exceptional as well.

Excellent fit to the headliner and top.

Sun visors were not installed at the time of the photos but will be prior to delivery.

The red interior really looks sweet against the black.

Deatil shot of the steering wheel...shines like jewelry!

Square weave oatmeal carpet with contrasting binding...excellent.

Gotta have the Gene Berg shifter!

Super clean instrumentation.
.

Original radio with the proper 67 only knobs...awesome.
Radio is not working by the way... everything else is.

Correct 67 only window cranks all the way around.

Just a stunning combination...really clean and classy.

Matching stayfast canvas top boot with red piping.

Excellent detailing in the door jams and corners.

Nice fit and finish to everything.

All like new.

The car is currently located in Temecula California.

So there you have it...a truly cherry car inside , outside and upside down.
The car is one heck of a deal for the asking price too.
With decent 67 Convertible base cars selling for around $10K these days, to replicate what you have here
by going through a reputable VW restoration shop you would spend another $25K (or more) just on the restoration
not to mention the performance drivetrain and buying the car in the first place.
With all that in perspective...you re getting a lot for your money with this black beauty!

Asking only
$22,500 obo
