YESSS!!! There will ALWAYS be a skateboard nearby my geographic location/existence on this ball that we call Earth, Fabian. Skateboarding's in my blood till I can't ride one any longer.

Just pulled in the driveway with my newly acquired 1967 Bug. As my alltime fave cartoon character always touts, "HAPPY HAPPY, JOY JOY!! ~Stimpson J. Cat a.k.a. Stimpy

Thanks to everyone that made this happen. Also scored some BRMs, today. My birthday presents arrived two months early this year... and I'm quite okay with that. HAHAHA!!!

Images to follow sometime in the not-to-distant future. Gotta go start cleaning my new toy.

Irony abounds... it came with a roof rack. Couldn't remove quick enough. It's gonna make someone very happy, 'cause it's a nice one and in great condition. Where do I find fender skirts, dingleballs, fuzzy dice, and stick-on flames? I'll get the visor later.

Thanks, y'all... pics will be up soon. I've only got a few things cleaned up on it, so far. It's really dusty and dirty from sitting so long. Inside and out. Took apart the tail lights and cleaned up the bulbs/reflectors/lenses. The paint's oxidized, as well.

The shape of things to come.

Thank you for all of the well wishes, everybody. In a bizarre twist of fate, I end up with a '67. I've been on the hunt for a '68 or '69. Every car I looked at was either a rust bucket or all cut up. Strange how a few things have changed in the VW realm. I honestly thought it would be like the old days and finding a late car would be a cinch. WRONG. I never foresaw finding a solid '67. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. HA!

That name sounds familiar, but I don't ever recall seeing that car. At which store did he work, Shubee?

I really wanted a Savannah or Lotus car, but I couldn't pass this one up. I've been looking for one with pop-outs, NO sunroof, and late seats (lowbacks w/side-knobs on seat backs). I feel very blessed to have scored this piece of Volkswagen history. I got the horn, dome light, and original Saphire radio to work, too. Even the radio has the '67 knobs. The only thing that doesn't work are the highbeams. Hopefully just a fuse or relay and not the turn indicator arm on the column. Time will tell. The locking shifter is a trip... never had a car with that.

Congrats on the find Mark! I'm looking forward to seeing a few pics.

I'm happy to report that I found a new project too. I just bought a toga white '69 sunroof with... get this... les than 20k on the clock!

It's been parked under a carport in Norwalk CA for the last 20 years. It's gonna need some tlc, but it'll be a solid place to build from. Right now it's sitting in a yard in Gardena,  CA waiting for a ride east [wee!].

Thanks, Jeffrey... and back at ya! VERY stoked to hear about your car. If you need me to help you with getting your car to you, please let me know. I'm not far from where it is. If you need pics, I'm a photographer... just say the word. You scored on such a low mileage car. That ROCKS! I wanted a white or beige late car, too. Glad someone in our club found one. It's goin' to a good home.

Here's a peek at my little diamond in the rough.



Currently it's sitting at the DAS terminal in Gardena and will be on a truck later on today. My plan is to polish it up as much as it can, adjust the altitude a bit, maybe a little fuchage and then focus my attention on the motor and trans [in true cal-look fashion]. Interior has got the Cali-cancer so that will need a little help but the rest is really solid, hard to find here in bleak north east.
