 Just ran across this car on the JG54 Green Hearts site. (BTW, this club has some serious cars, but you guys already know that.) That car took my breath away. Any more pics? Motor specs? The cars story? Damn that car is sweet. Thanks, --louis |

Heydon's black 67 is another killer car. When they are both parked up together in the club display they look awesome...  |

Just something about black '67s that make my heart beat a little faster. Put burners on it and leave the original horn grills and you would have what I want my car to look like. --louis |

Heydon likes to live life on the edge, hence his all reds.. |

tom, the registration mark is the year of registration not manufacture. VW would make there cars slightly out of phase with our reg system. Silly I know but they just wouldn't change to making there cars from August to August.

I see a big engine here with dual quiet pack muffler setup. Can someone who knows this car tell me more about the exhaust setup and hp's? I really like the dual quiet pack setup but some tell me it is okay, others tell me I will loose hp...

Nicest set of 911 wheels I've seen on a Bug in a long time. The merged black exhaust look exactly like the one that FourTuned made me for my orange '66. What brand is that one, dare I ask? Really dig the anodized look of the wheels. Easy upkeep, too.

. . I'm sure someone else will confirm that the dual quiet pack isn't as 'free-flowing' as the modern turbo-type set up.... BUT, the (very) slight reduction in HP is more than compensated by the looks and [personally] the sound. I like to hear the engine when driving an air-cooled.. not overpowered by the noise from the exhaust. These modern zorsts are too loud in my opinion... and the look is more 'Max Power / rice burner / minitruck'.... (..sits down waiting for the back-lash  ) regards Steve |

tom, the registration mark is the year of registration not manufacture. VW would make there cars slightly out of phase with our reg system. Silly I know but they just wouldn't change to making there cars from August to August. And not forgetting that VW did use August to August Model Years, but in the UK we used January to January for our registrations UNTIL 1967 when they had a Jan-August and then onto August to August from then on. This is why E-reg cars are less common and you'll see quite a few '67s on D plates. The F-reg '67's you occasionally see are left overs sold on in the September of 1967. |
