Post pictures of your favorite 67 looker !!!
Dick Mitchell:
I think my list of 67's would include
Hector Bonilla (Love the color, wheels and everything else that makes this car what it is. My former roommate's car looks like a possible clone)
Art Gutierrez (I've just always had a thing for this car)
Jim Ratto (When I got my VW back in high school, My buddies and I always wished our cars were as cool and fast as Jim's) ;D

Art Gutierrez's and Xavier's are my favs, but I recall a red 67 with T-Bars from britain which came out around 99 in Super VW Mag which was awesome too, anyone remember it?
Jason McCreery's car, Jaguar Regency red, 1776cc, first original Empi 5's then later some repro BRMs. There were three very similar ones built - Jason's, my brother's and Ben Hayes from Total VW magazine's cars all had the dark red paint, upright front wings, lucas indicators, etc., they just differed in interior colour and wheel choice. My Brother had American Eagle wide five fuchs and Ben had Centreline replicas.

There might be some on the volksworld website - it was in their classifieds recently!

I love all of them, as each can be linked to its owner - it's not just a car, it's whoever's '67.
But then I don't just like '67s, I like other year models for their own reasons. Every year is special in its own way. The original Underdog in orange a brilliant looking '65.. Stephane's Oval, Bill's ragtop - it's not just '67s for me.
I can't say I don't like the '67 model year the most though - and not just in terms of VWs, if you sit back and think about it, '67 was a good year for many manufacturers. A number of Amercian cars I like happen to be '67 models too, the Nova, Mustang, and Goat for example. There were some crazy designs which came out in '67 such as the Mazda Cosmo, The Ghia 450SS, the three seat Matra 530 . So I like 1967 in general as far as automotive design is concerned.
As for my favorite '67 Bugs - it's a very hard question to answer. Of course I like my own car, as it's done just how I wanted it. But the cars which I have always had a special place in my heart for are Gary Berg's car when it was under a blue cover at VW Classic back in 1990 - the Porsche Minerva blue paintwork blue my mind as the Californian sun shone on it. It brought the curves of the bodywork out so well. The car was an inspiration to me, it really was.
My friend Hector Bonilla's '67 - well that car is just fabulous in so many ways.
Deano's old '67 was just so right it hurts, but the one car that I will always thought of as the coolest looking '67 of them all is Art Gutierrez's car - especially when its on Firestone slicks. That car rocks!
