L620 Savanna Beige ’67 Beetle Survivor

Eric Shoemaker on May 30, 2012

A good friend of 1967beetle.com, Chris Vallone of Classic VW Bugs in NY just picked up this ’67 L620 Savanna Beige true survivor. It looks like the distributor has been replaced and possibly a few other minor things. However, this a fantastic example of how an original, unmolested ’67 Beetle should look. I really love seeing original paint color and trim. It won’t take much to put this car back to 100% correct.

I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.
Additional information on correct ’67 colors can be seen here.

Thanks Chris for sharing this great find with 1967beetle.com.

    I keep seeing people throw around the term “survivor” – what’s meant by that?

    It means the car is OG and has never been restored. Ron Bengry’s ’53 Zwitter is the same. It’s rare you see these cars without 5332 parts missing etc.

    My ’68 is a survivior as well as original, sat in the previous owners garage for almost 40 years until last month when I bought it from him :)
