Good morning from Seattle Eric, hope your beautiful family is doing well. This is a clean 67. However, those white walls look like inserts? And their too wide! And the panels in the interior, appear to be just as thick as the seats! I think it’s very nice but I’d get rid of those inserts and change the panels out and relocate the fuel filter and get rid of the extinguisher. But that’s just me. At any rate, if I didn’t have my Zenith blue L639, I would consider bidding on this gem! Best regards, Jaime
Hey, bud!
Yeah, it’s a nice car and would not take much to make it perfect.
This ’67 has the mid year additions. Front fenders look German and I love the original radio. Jamie, I agree about the white walls. They look weird, otherwise a sweet car. This is how a car should be marketed… lots of pictures (Good ones too!). I’d like to see the underside of the engine though. Is this on an auction site? I didn’t see a price.
Can you tell me if these seats are the originals. As I said in my last email, the 67 I bought didn’t have the original seats and were too high for the car. Not being able to sit in the car before buying is a real disadvantage to bidding on ebay, don’t you think?
The seats are. The covers are not. Black would be correct. But, people change things up over the years.
Low back seats are ’67 correct.
Katy … a 1967Beetle.com article “Rear Bumper Over Riders” 01/03/15 reveals new seat back release lever was incorporated into the seat backrest at Chassis Number 117 425 908 in December 1966. Hope this helps. – DLF
Although this auction has ended-A bit of Honor For and Comparisons between the Republic F-105 Thunderchief (the aircraft with green/brown Camouflage) and the 1967 VW. The F-105D (also known as a Thud) carried a great amount of the weapons delivery against the commies in North Vietnam-and their losses were horrendous. Perhaps plus 300 were lost over the North with a great amount of those being on “Thud” ridge-many American Airmen lost their lives in these aircraft, undoubtedly many still Missing In Action. The engine-Pratt and Whitney J-75 axial flow turbojet, producing around 26,000 pounds of thrust in Afterburner with water injection-a very powerful engine at the time. Converting Thrust to horsepower (generates all sorts of graphs and formulas and naysayers) but if you could- for simplicity, maybe rounding off to 2 horsepower per pound of thrust would be 52,000 horsepower. The Volkswagen 4 cylinder engine, 4 stroke combustion cycle (Otto Cycle) consisting of intake, compression, combustion/power, and exhaust stroke, performed in each cylinder in that order, timed to enable the Power/Combustion stroke to occur in each cylinder at different times, in the order of 1 4 3 2, producing 53 SAE horsepower at 4,700 RPM-depending on if it has the 1500 or 1600 pistons/cylinders or other modifications from standard. Consuming an average of one gallon of fuel each 26 miles traveled-consumed from a 10.6 gallon fuel supply-top speed 78 miles per hour and maximum cruising speed same-propelling max weight of 2600 pounds. The Thud all up weight in excess of 50,000 pounds, could be, depending on configuration supersonic at sea level, Mach 2 at altitude-consuming from, depending on load out, internal fuel supply of 1100 gallons, up to more than 2,000 gallons with external and bombay tanks. The engine consumed fuel in afterburner as if sucking it from a fire hydrant, necessitating the employment of aerial gas stations to sustain the range. The J-75 also had the four cycles of power, except they performed all 4 at the same time, sucking in air (intake) compressing, burning/power, and exhaust. Some few Thuds remaining can be viewed in museums and other displays, no longer do they grace the sky-perhaps the example is a veteran of intense combat over North Vietnam. The gravity loving Beetle lives on, one will not have to visit a stale museum to view, there are many remaining, although the numbers pale in comparison to their birth years-and many are resurrected every year. Long live the Beetle and in particularly the 1967 model year.
Ha! Now there is some comparison! Thanks for the object lesson, Quinn! jay
Jay,
I pondered a bit on whether to post that. I knew the history of the F-105 fairly well and found the posing of the 67 in front of it intriguing. I see that I over-revved the 53 hp engine, should be 4200 RPM’S
Good morning, Quinn…Say…you should sign up with Gravatar to get your face known! I liked the posing of the Beetle with the aircraft! I’d like to get my cars posed with some WW II radial-engined craft–they are my favorites. There are some hangared not far from us but I keep not contacting the airport for information. Living where we are, we find it very difficult to find nice backgrounds. Have a great Month! jay
