Enhancements
- Added Features !!
A number of
scarce NOS, (New Old Stock), parts have been added in past years to
this
Classic 1967 Volkswagen Bug, along with an occasional part I may find
at a Volkswagen swap meet, to make the car even nicer.
The engine is "solid chrome," including the dual spout air
cleaner. This was done to make it look as nice as the rest of the car.
It doesn't have to be; you can revert to "basic black" if you desire.

The trunk area is immaculate and done in original
black.
The wiring, and exposed inside of the instrument panel, is blocked from
view by a custom fitted fiber cover. A new spare tire, still with
original tags, is in front, along with the original tool kit.
A very hard to find "ALL TRANSISTOR by Bendix," a SAPPHIRE VI
Model AM/FM radio, replaces the commonly found AM-only radio. Keep in
mind that in 1967, FM radio stations were few and far between. An
original AM/FM radio in a vintage bug are a rarity. Cheap
junk,
stuffed in a hacked out hole in the dash, do NOT count. This is
definitely NOT a "teenagers" car. <g>
The "looks" of the front/rear bumpers were greatly improved to
make the car even more of a "head turner" at classic car
shows.
On occasion, I've gotton "wows" from guys in a long line of Bugs
waiting for a show to open when they got a look at my bumpers! The
"extra niceness" was achieved by carefully "hand fitting" selected and
exactly matching bumper components, from a LARGE pile, to eliminate the
need for UGLY
rubber or plastic gaskets between mating surfaces. After the selection
of well fitting parts was complete, and prior to final assembly, the
bumpers were triple-chrome plated and carefully polished. Two of the
photos show bumper detail. These are NOT your "J.C.
Whitney" type bumpers!
The CA license plate on this Classic Volkswagen Bug says: WOW 67 What more can I say?
