1967 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible For Sale
The 67 model year was a special one for the Beetle here in the US.
It was the first of many things and the last of many more, and out of all the years of production it
is the one year that is truly unique and easy to pick out of the crowd.

and patched together...this is a very very solid honest example
underneath.

Cal that has gone to inspect this car up close.
