Who doesn’t love a Beetle? Unhappy people, that’s who. It’s always a favorite, but lately the fashion has been to lower them, improve their stance, and add roof racks. This car, forum user Johnmacd’s 1967 Beetle, satisfies all three of those requirements and more.
Johnmacd’s Beetle is blue and white and features a fresh 1600cc motor. It’s been lowered, the front end is on a 4 inch narrowed beam, and the back is on shocks. It has a 4 speed manual and a new GT exhaust, but best of all, he says it’s rust free.
Unfortunately, there are still one or two issues to address. Johnmacd admits that a new headliner would be welcome, as would new floor mats. The price isn’t stratospheric, though. For only $5,999 (or a trade) this could be your entry into the world of classic Beetles.
Those flaws are easily forgivable, too, when you look at this thing. As mentioned above it’s got all the right Beetle pieces in all the right Beetle places. It’s got a period paint scheme, stance, those great hubcaps, and it’s just cool.
Although there is an undeniable satisfaction in building your own project, there is equal satisfaction in actually driving a classic car. Big projects are tempting, but starting them is easier than finishing them. And if you like to wrench, this Beetle still has some manageable problems to solve.
Take a look at the ad on our forum and let yourself be tempted by this classic ’67 Beetle.
