The Volkswagen Beetle made some major strides for the 1967 model year, and while the car itself didn't get any bigger, many of its mechanical systems and components did.
For starters, the Beetle came with a bigger engine for the second year in a row. Horsepower had been bumped to 50 horsepower the previous year, and for 1967 it was bumped even more, to 53 horsepower. The capacity of the electrical generator was increased from 180 to 360 watts, and upgraded from a 6-volt to a 12-volt system. The clutch disk also increased in size, and improvements were made to the flywheel, braking system, and rear axels.
New standard equipment included two-speed windshield wipers, back-up lights, a driver's armrest on the door, locking buttons on the doors, sealed-beam headlights, and an outside mirror on the driver's side.
The 1967 Beetle was available in a variety of colors, including Ruby Red, Lotus White, Java Green, Zenith Blue, and Savannah Beige. Interior upholstery was available in either cloth or leatherette. Standard features included swiveling sun visors, coat hooks, assist straps, an automatic windshield washer, an overhead light, a folding rear seat, and storage space under the front hood and in a three-foot carpeted compartment behind the rear seat.

(37 reviews)If you have driven 70's models this is way better. The steering is very light, it feels a lot bigger inside, and looks better. My car handles great, no dangerous under steer or over steer. If other owners have this problem you might not have the tire pressure at 17psi front and 26psi rear. I would recremend this car to anyone looking for a easy project or a good car.
I love it. Its good on gas, clean and runs great, She is good from bumper to bumper and is reliable each and every time I drive her. I bought her in 2009 for $700.00 and restored it in my garage
I'm the 2nd owner of a Ruby Red 67 Bug with 85,000 miles. It only goes out a few times a year and I can't keep the people away from it! Still runs and looks like new. Never fails to start and rides and drives like a dream. Besides a tune up, tires, brakes and a few batteries over the 20 years that I've owned it, I haven't had to spend a dime on repairs. I've owned many classic cars over the years, but my 67 Beetle is by far my favorite!
This was my first car. While the performance wasn't so hot, this little car was, quite simply, amazing. This was one of the greatest cars I have ever owned. Started every time, never got hot, and took the abuse given to it teaching my little sister how to drive a stick shift!
More bugs made than any other model or make on the planet! No make of car had the testing before production runs like the VW! An entire sub-culture was started by this car. It floats! Best car ever made! Done!
