L620 Savanna Beige '67 Beetle

Fresh to the vintage Volkswagen market, we have another respectable and what appears to be very correct L620 Savanna Beige '67 Beetle. I love seeing the correct Bosch German short coil, oil bath bracket, running boards and Pierburg Fuel pump.

I purchased this Vintage Volkswagen Beetle in the Fall of 2015.

This is a very solid #2 Beetle. Super clean. Correct Matching numbers for a '67. Engine HO650502. Yes, the mileage is original. I have only put about 1000 miles on it . For most of the last nine years I have gone completely through just about every part of this beetle and loved every minute of it. Everything is correct for a '67 except for SB12 headlight rings, front seat covers and clam shell seat belts.

The Beetle was originally from Rochester NY, but has been here in Arkansas since. Never driven in the rain. Garaged and covered. All work documented and a solid list of every invoice upon request.

Who's going to make an offer?

Within a week of getting the beetle I started working on the breaks. All breaking system was original and completely worn out. All interior was taken out to expose the original pans. Just surface rust except for drivers side heater channel. Heater channel had some lose rust inside. Both heater channels were blown out and treated with (Eastwood Rust Encapsulator) w 24" extension hose. Thru Fall of 2017 I probably used 6 cans of Eastwood rust Encapsulator any where I saw rust and could reach it. Original front carpet and rubber (mats) were rotted and crumbled. Rear carpet in original good condition. Battery tray in very good condition. Pans (inside) treated with Gimplers rust converter and painted black. Drivers side heater channel had a 1/2" hole back by the left rear tire. Water was able to enter this hole. Hole was patched. So the drivers side pan was rusted the worse (when I say worse ... very minor pitting) but no Swiss cheese. Passenger side pan, almost zero surface rust. All body metal original. All windows original (with logo) except front. Original back windows were not pop outs. 1967 Pop out windows purchased on Samba for $150.00.

ENGINE

Engine pulled. Most likely the first time since built in Germany. Original clutch worn down to the rivets in pressure plate. No one local could turn pressure plate. I will keep it with the beetle. Pressure washed whole engine. Original push rod tubes rusted and 4-5 were leaking (pin holes). Removed all tin. Tin towards front of Bug rusted beyond repair. Some bottom tin was missing. I kept most of the tin in the very back. I was able to find good quality German tin on Samba. I paid $35.00 for the tin. I also located pre heat (hard to find) tubes on Samba. I purchased them for $50.00. Also found pulley cover on Samba, very good condition. The pre-tubes and pulley cover were missing when the car was purchased. I removed everything down to the engine and cylinder heads. Heads were pulled off and new push rod tubes installed. It was not split apart. Pressure washed and cleaned everything. Sand blasted all tin and repainted. Original muffler and heater boxes sand blasted and painted. Carb air filter serviced. Zero end play.

TMI basket weave seat upholstery....so when I bought the bug all the upholstery was original and was in very good shape, but within a few years the front seats started to rot, so I just ordered the front (only) in 2018. After I covered one seat I realized the upholstery was not correct for a 1967 beetle. So I went with it. TMI advertised upholstery as original but not original for a 1967. Those (67) have to be special ordered. Original back bench seat was in good condition until 2023 and was replaced (back only installed) bench seat upholstery included. I bought the back seat upholstery from J-Bugs.

General information

From what I know I am the 3rd owner. I bought the bug from an owner in Rochester N.Y. It currently has 56,633 miles on it. I have only but about 1000 miles on it. The previous owner said his wife drove it only on Sundays to go see her mother. They owned it for 7 years. The bug spent 52 years in Rochester NY. It was delivered to Mt. Read VW Inc. 1755 Mt Read Rd, Rochester NY. I have the original window price sticker. Original keys plus a spare set. Inside the original owners manual there is an address of what I believe was the original owner. I wrote them and asked if they knew the history of the Beetle. I got no reply. Only the passenger side door locks with the keys. The beetle came with installed clam-shell seat belts and one spare, one side did not work so I took them out. The beetle was originally undercoated so pans and fenders in good condition. Don't let the undercoating fool you .Yes it's ugly but the pans and fenders are in great condition. Bottom of doors show some minor salt damage, nothing to bad. The doors were treated with a rust preserver primed and painted inside and out. Some minor salt damage to bottom of back fenders. Nothing bad.There is bondo (as much as I know) bottom of passenger side door, bondo in the bottom of headlight buckets, bondo in the bottom of the break reservoir location. All bondo very minimal. The Bug was painted in early 2021 with a single stage Urethane paint and seems to be 3rd spray. Windows were removed before painting, almost zero rust under windows. All new rubber everywhere. Doors/Windows were rebuilt in the Winter of 2021, replaced one window cradle (metal). The chrome bumpers are original and in very good condition. VW logo stamped inside each bumper and stamped #2553 ?? BoKoWa rac was given to me by the guy I bought the bug from and was heavily rusted. I restored it best I could. All windows original except front. All knobs (interior) original. Small white knob on interior light missing. Original door panels. Original sun visors, CoCo mats Gold/Black. US ROYAL LAREGO 3.60X15 4 Ply Tires. I have used only Ethanol free gasoline since I have owned it. The original gasoline line had been replace with copper tubing and it ran on the outside and down the side of the beetle. I changed that and followed the WV recommendation noted in the paperwork. Uncut dash. Shifts beautifully. After almost 10 years of owning this Beetle I'm sure I have forgot something. Don't let the small blemishes fool you. This is a very solid #2 Beetle. Never driven in the rain. I would feel very confident driving from New York to L.A. and back. It will be sorely missed.
