Hmmm, I can remember selling a yellow -67 to a Mr. Silverpig a couple of years ago. It had roofrack and a lowered rear end!

Maybe it was the "other " bumpers in the picture that got him interested!

Have to disagree.
A big flatfour engine with big idas, straight converted cooling and a huge stinger rings my bell.
No matter if it´s type 4 or type 1 (or even a 356 flat four) as long as it´s  an aircooled selfbreathing  flat4 boxer...

Hey Anders! Cool to see those old pictures of my/your old 67 again. The car is now in the hands of Rabben here on this forum...and I am anxious to see what he makes out of it. I have seen some pictures of bare metal...  Cool

Kalle and I have been in contact so I have seen some pictures as well, but it was a while since I saw any now.

 My most hated accessory for a (late) looker would definately be EMPI 8-Spoke REPLICA's....  Yikes...  Embarrassed

 I do appreciate people who make some effort to find the real deal when it comes to wheels...
