    Pretty! What is that gizmo on the passenger side horn grill? I’d love to see a pic of the engine bay. I see WA state plates – what’s it doing in Cali? :)

      I think that has something to do with the AC. I’ll reach out to the owner and ask for more photos.

      New photos! I’ve never seen an engine with AC built in. Impressive.

      Concerning the blue running board vinyl, my car came original with black. I replaced the brittle and worn originals with black again in 1988. 42 years owner. 240k on the clock. Low miles considering, I can only imagine 37k because my memory cant remember the feel of my VW when I bought it. But is feels exactly the same as far as I can tell.

        Interesting. I know the correct color running board for that year is Zenith Blue.

    Hey E,

    How about some props for finding this and calling it to your attention?! Lol! I not only do not have a bigger garage….I do not have a bigger wallet. :(

      Thanks MIKE for bringing this to my attention. :)

    Whoah! What a lovely Bug, and factory air con too, how extraordinary! How come it has such low mileage?

    1. Eric October 16, 2012 at 7:49 pm

      I’ve never seen such a thing. Very “cool!”

      1. Marius Strom October 16, 2012 at 9:43 pm

        Holy smokes, that is insane. I’ve never seen that, ever. Wonder how many Bugs got that installed?

        1. Eric October 16, 2012 at 9:51 pm

          First time I’ve ever seen it.

            Thanks for the post. I read more about it. Seems they are really rare. I’d wonder how much it pulls on the engine, etc. Seems these cars were not made for AC.

    Want this!

    1. Eric February 14, 2013 at 9:16 am

      A ’67 Beetle with AC?! I want it too. She’s got it priced well. It’s a survivor for sure.
