Q: Does anyone know of a good website for restoration/repair information on a 1967 VW Beetle?
I am looking for information that will help me in repairing and restoring a VW bug. Any websites or book would be great.

A: What kind of information are you looking for? Restoration/repair is really a very big topic that covers many different things. So, I'll give you a list of website to check out, but email( patrickm2213@yahoo.com ) me if your looking for more specifics. Tons of good information out there, but does take a while to figure out where to look. These two are the big sites. thesamba.com is a great source(if not the best single source) of information out there. As well since your car has so many one year only parts, great place for specifics. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/ http://www.shoptalkforums.com/index.php Smaller Forums(honestly, sometimes nice to just have a small number of people to talk with rather than thousands) http://www.openroad.ca/volkswebbin/?f=1&sid=fcf10068d0c29fa9332a24a817610c66 http://forums.vwvortex.com/zeroforum?id=9 As far as books, I like the offical(most commonly printed by bentley) and original ones. If you looking for a good all around many look into the one by Bentley for your year, it's a great start. Amazon.con is the cheapest place to find them, other than used. But once again what type of work are you looking to do. To the above advice: Joining a club is a great idea : http://www.thesamba.com/vw/clubs/ As well VW Trends has been out of print for all most two years, but Hot VW's is still being printed.

Q: Where can I find a wiring diagram for my 1967 VW Beetle?
I need to wire the flasher box, ignition, and wiring on the motor. (generator, coil)

A: the samba ...

Q: How many miles per gallon does the 1967 VW Beetle get?
And with a new engine, new transmission, and no rust, is this a good car for $4200?

A: Expect upper 20's, driven normal, fresh tune up. It should have a 1500 single port engine, which is lower powered, but should get a little better gas mileage. You may see low 30's in warmer weather, on the highway, steady 60-65. Hot VW's multi part series, project mileage motor got over 36mpg. Good luck, enjoy the car.

Q: How much is a 1967 VW Beetle Worth?
I have the option to purchase one for $600. It is in fairly good shape (rusted floor boards of course) but the engine runs, tranny seems solid, needs brakes.....I would think this is a good buy???

A: It could be a decent buy if you plan on doing the restoration work yourself. Check this VW site out and compare prices to comparable condition cars: http://www.thesamba.com Be sure to narrow the search down to your state, as the values vary by location.

Q: VW beetle 1967- Should I buy?
I am looking at buying a 1967 VW beetle. In pretty good shape, has been in garage entire time. Paint job is orginial as are all the parts. Paint looks good, some rust on bumpers, seats are in good shape, floor is worn. Nothing is so bad cannot be replaced or repaired. Overall pretty good but they want 5,200. Might get them down to 5,000. have seen restored ones for sell but would have to pay to get it sent to Tenn. I think it might be a good deal but would like to get some opinions from others thanks

A: You know, that's a tough question. I have had VW's since the age of 16, and I still have one....uh, I mean 6. My current one, is a 1971, and I love this car. I've had it for 14 years now, and it has never let me down. I bought it for 200.00 dollars, and have had people offer up to 3000.00 dollars. I would love to have a 67 VW, but am NOT wiling to pay the kind of money you are talking about. So really, it all is up to the buyer. Do you think it's worth that much money? They are great on gas, low maintenance, and they are always a conversation piece. On the other hand, "because" they have all of these qualities, they also get stolen quite a bit. So, weigh the odds, and you'll come up with the right answer. I love my car enough that the thieves won't "allow" me to rid of it. (ha ha!) I just take precautions when it comes to my (Little Lotta) VW. Good luck, whatever you decide.

Q: How do i pimp my 1967 vw beetle? from the performance point?
Its a 1300cc engine

A: Do you have full coverage insurance? A flaming rag, an open gas cap, a clear title, an insurance check, and a trip to the new car dealer would be a good start... Seriously, though, I'm an old car fan, but if you want to dress a car out, is the 67 Beetle the best place to start? YIKES! Given the limited value of the car, unless there is a significant emotional attachment to the car, I'd look for a more interesting starting point. Old Porsche 912's of that vintage can be found for $6-10K. Early BMW 2002? Even a Kharman Ghia if you just have to have a VW. Or a Porsche 914 (although these are great on the track and turkeys on the street). Before you invest a lot of money into that old Beetle think about your goals for the car. It sounds like a money pit that you'll be lucky to recover 25 cents on the dollar from. So if it's not an act of blind love, then...

Q: what is the estimated mpg for a 1967 VW Beetle?


A: around 26 mpg. If driven correctly. Its important to know the engines' power band and how to optimize it when shifting.This will make the car more fun to drive

Q: Vw Beetle: Pre 1967 front wings on a 1970 old shape beetle - is it possible?
I am looking at buying a beetle from a friend that is a 1973 model I think. The only problem is a really dislike the more upright lights that these beetles have and much prefer the 1950's and 60's models that had the slanted front lights. Is it possible to put some old wings on this beetle to make my dream car or are their fitting/size difference that will hamper me? Any help is appreciated, just so you can see what I mean, the beetle I am buying looks like this at the front: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Volkswagen/photos/a-166521227/p-70952753.htm and this is a older beetle with the wings/lights I want: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Volkswagen/photos/a-164912908/p-71423185.htm Many thanks!

A: I do not think the old fenders will interchange with the 73. I have a 73 and I too like the old style headlights. To put the old style on the newer style you have to do some body molding, (i.e bondo, fiberglass etc) to mold them in. It is possible but a lot of work and very hard to get exactly right. Go to TheSamba.com and find some links to other Vintage VW sites and you can get all the info you want and/or need Good luck and enjoy your new JOY T

Q: I need help from someone who knows VW 1967?
I own a 1967 beetle and my floor pans are severely rusted. the whole car is beautiful and runs perfect so I want to know what floor pans would fit my car. Ive found great deals on floor pans from earlier years like 1963-1965 but I have no idea if they will not fit a 1967 body. PLEASE HELP!!

A: You can repair the rusted ones better than new.

Q: Searching for a 1967 beetle electtric schema !?
It's a VW beetls 1967. I need the electric schema

A: Go to your local library. If you're in a decent sized town, they should have them in the reference section. Motor is the best, because they're full color. If you're really lucky, your library also has a color copier.....
