So this 67 that ruckman101 found here in my hometown of Eureka is officially signed over to me now. I just paid the owner and picked up the title, as well as about 7 boxes of parts.
original lights, distributor, hub caps, replacement (new in box) interior parts, brakes, you name it and it's probably already there.
In the end, after seeing all of the parts that actually came with it, it was an amazing deal. There has to be a few hundred bucks worth of new parts in boxes, let alone all of the original to this 67 parts that were stowed away over the years.
It's still sitting over in front of the original owners place for now while I arrange the DMV paperwork, insurance/etc, but the fun officially starts now.
At some point this weekend im going to try and photograph/document all of the spares and originals parts that came with it to see what should be put back on and what's better left alone. (those funky original seatbelt mounts came with it, but appear to be just lap belts and no shoulder restraints - something like that I suppose the replacements are best left in place.)
finally a beetle owner!
