’67 Beetle Safety — Shift Lock
Theft. It’s the theme of many emails received here at 1967beetle.com in regards to the ’67 Beetle. The secret is out; thieves are well aware how special these gems are. If you’re like me, your ’67 is a very special car. Mine was originally purchased by my Grandfather and is the vessel of many childhood memories. I’d never be able to replace in the event there was a loss from theft.
Lucky for us, a very high quality shift lock was produced. It’s the “perfect anti-theft device, virtually impossible to bypass and an original accessory too!” If you’re adding on a shift lock, there is a good chance you’ll also need a replacement boot. Take a look below at the detailed installation instructions below. They explain in detail just how simple it is. It’s also available for download at the bottom of this article.

about 4 years agoI had no idea such an item was out there. Thanks for this, I'll order one later today. I'm new to the VW thing.

about 4 years agoSure thing. It's a great item that makes me feel a lot better when I have to leave my '67 somewhere.

about 4 years agoThis was *the first* thing I did to my Beetle when we got it. Getting it adjusted is a bit tricky.. mine's not perfect now, I have to push the gear lever slightly forward to be able to unlock it.. However, I'm afraid to touch it because I don't want to make it go further out of whack. :) I think I might go poke around this over the weekend though, since I now have electronic copies of the instructions. :)
