"It could be a great find for a VW enthusiast."

Description

This 1967 Volkswagen 1500 has covered approximately 10,162 miles since new. The car had a previous owner before the current owner's family purchased it in December 1969. During the 1970s and 80s, it was used as a second car within the family. The car was repainted in its original color in the 1990s. From 1990 to 2007, it was used as a summer car and frequently driven to and from the family's cabin. During the winter months, it was stored and parked in a carport. It has been regularly cared for and maintained but has not been used in the last two years. The front seats have been equipped with backrests with integrated headrests. This modification was carried out at an auto workshop in the 1990s. However, the original backrests in their original condition are still preserved and come with the car. The VW failed its inspection, as seen in the inspection report photo.

Facts about the model

In 1967, the VW Type 1 introduced the new, more powerful 1500 engine in its top model. This engine was also used in larger cars like the Type 2, the Bus, Type 3, and the Variant. The engine produced 44 horsepower, allowing the Beetle to reach a top speed of nearly 140 km/h. For this reason, the model was equipped with front and rear anti-roll bars and front disc brakes. Today, these cars are rare and highly sought after because they offer a more spirited and enjoyable driving experience compared to the simpler 1300 models with 34 and 40 horsepower. This is a great opportunity for VW collectors to acquire an original car that is correct in every way.
