1967 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 12 VOLT EASY RESTORATION PROJECT

Description

I HAVE A 1967 BEETLE THIS IS THE 1ST YEAR OF THE 12 VOLT SYSTEM AND REVERSE LIGHTS ON THE REAR BUMPER. AS YOU CAN SEE IT NEEDS A LITTLE LOVE BUT HAS STRONG BONES TO START OFF WITH SINCE ITS A SOUTHERN CAR. THIS CAR WAS IN THE SAME FAMILY FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS BEFORE I TOOK IT IN ON TRADE, AS SOON AS I GOT IT I PUT A NEW CARBURETOR ON IT AND A BATTERY AS WELL AS NEW OIL AND SCREEN AND IT CRANKED UP ON A DIME. IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR ABOUT 2-3 YEARS PRIOR TO ME GETTING IT. IT IS A GOOD PROJECT CAR THAT WILL NEED SOME WORK WHICH I PLANNED ON DOING BUT MY DAUGHTER IS ABOUT TO GO TO COLLEGE SO MY TOY HAS TO GO. I ALSO INSTALLED AFTERMARKET SIDESKIRTS ON IT, I HAVE DRIVEN IT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND KNOW FOR A FACT IT WILL NEED TIRES AND MOST LIKELY BRAKES AS IS PULLS TO THE RIGHT A LITTLE. THE CLUTCH SEEMS FINE TO MY KNOWLEDGE.
MOVING ONTO THE INSIDE, THE INTERIOR IN MY OPINION IS IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE FOR 50 YEARS OLD, IT IS A OFF WHITE AND OF COURSE DOES HAVE SOME STAINS ON IT BUT CLEANED UP PRETTY NICE. THERE IS AN 8 TRACK PLAYER BUT IM NOT SURE IF ITS ORIGINAL, THE PANELS AND HEADLINER ARE IN DECENT SHAPE NOT TORN JUST LOOSE IN SOME SPOTS, THE BLACK CARPET ALSO IS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE ALTHOUGH NOT ORIGINAL I DON'T THINK. ALL GUAGES SEEM TO WORK FINE, ALL WINDOWS WORK BUT ARE STIFF, ALL GLASS IS IN TACT WITH NO CRACKS.
NOW TO THE OUTSIDE, AS YOU CAN SEE THEE PAINT HAS SEEN ITS BETTER DAYS, AND HAS SEVERAL SMALL LOVE TAPS AROUND THE CAR, NOTHING SOME BONDO CANT HANDLE. ALL THE EXTERIOR PARTS ARE ORIGINAL AND ALSO HAS THE ORIGINAL RIMS AND HUBCAPS, THE BUMPERS ARE STILL SOLID BUT HAD SURFACE RUST AND I JUST USED SOME RHINO LINER IN A CAN AND MADE THEM BLACK AS WELL AS THE WHEELS BUT IT WILL COME OFF EASILY IF YOU CHOOSE. THERE IS OF COURSE SOME RUST ON THE CAR AND I TRIED TO TAKE AS MANY PICTURES AS I COULD, THE WORST PART BEING WHERE THE BATTERY SITS, AND I HAVE STOOD IN THE CAR TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY TO TEST THE FLOORS AND THEY SEEM PRETTY SOLID. I HAVE PULLED UP PARTS OF THE CARPET AND LOOKED AND I SEE SURFACE RUST BUT NOTHING HAS GONE THROUGH.
THE ENGINE IS ORIGINAL TO THE VEHICLE AND SEEMS TO RUN FINE, I WAS TOLD I MAY WANT TO ADJUST THE VALVES BUT HAVE NOT GOTTEN THAT FAR, IT DOES ALSO HAVE SOME NEWER PARTS ON IT AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURE.
AGAINI DID TAKE THIS IN ON TRADE AND HAVE THE TITLE THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME AND ITS DATED 09-02-1985 AND HAS THE GUY I GOT IT FROM SIGNED ON THE BACK AS THE BUYER 03-14-2001. OI DO BELIEVE THERE WAS ANOTHER TITLE AT SOME POINT BUT WITH THIS BEING A 67, A BILL OF SALE IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED AND I WILL GIVE YOU BOTH THE TITLE AND BILL OF SALE. I HAD INTENTIONS OF RESTORING THIS TO A FUN DRIVE AROUND CAR BUT SCHOOL COMES BEFORE TOYS. I HAVE MENTIONED AS MUCH AS I KNOW ABOUT THIS CAR TO ELEMINATE A LOT OF QUESTIONS. IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK AND I WILL TRY MY BEST TO ANSWER IT. I AM NOT GIVING THIS CAR AWAY SO PLEASE DONT MESSAGE ME AND ASK ME IF I WILL TAKE AN INSULTED AMOUNT, MY PRICE IS MY PRICE AND IF IT DOSEN'T SELL I WILL KEEP IT AND KEEP TINKERING WITH IT AND END UP KEEPING IT BECAUSE I REALLY HATE TO LET IT GO. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE AND HAPPY BIDDING!!
