oh just a few bits n pieces like the rear bumper overriders and such. I'm sure you know all lthe stuff folks look for. Original lenses, low backs ,etc..

Parts Update !!  I am now the proud owner of another 67. yep, thats right. lotsa parts. even still has the engine in it. have not had the time to look close to see what it is other than a single port.  the ignition switch is there. no key.  if you can still use it, I'll mail it to ya Herb.  Just to let Ya'll know.. here's what I have sitting in my yard.  a 63 chop top gutted junker, a 63 rag top, which is falling apart rotten, I'm using the top in my 64. a 66 that is next in line to be put back into service.,  2 67s  the one I got yesterday has alot of good parts, hit in right front.  the other 67 is rotten so bad, its falling apart.  a 69 in which I am parting out for a buddy to make a rail buggy.  I also have a building with alot of misc. engines, trannys, and engine parts galore.  and to think.... I just got started on VWs last April. right Herb?  I am getting more and more excited every day cause, my 64 is coming along great.  My wife is tired of me being in the shop all the time, but seeing all the progress on the car keeps her from complaining. BugNut,  I'll spend some time looking to see what these cars have that may intrest you.  is there a difference in over riders in a 67 and a 64?  the upper bars that are on the rear of the 64 still look pretty decent. no rust, just maybe a scratch er2  . I'm not gonna use them.  I need to get the camera out I guess.  these place is gonna look like a basket of Easter eggs when the snow falls.  If you a looking for something in particular,  just ask, and I'll go see.

I definately will take the ignition switch, Boone. I think I can get Zen to re-key it for me and then I can get "Barney Bug" back on the road. I've got something the Zenmeister wants pretty bad so I think we can make a deal. :lol:  :lol:

Just let me know how much you want for it and I will get you a check in the mail.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

You are possibly right.  I was working at the VW dealer at that time and bought my new 67 in Oct. of 66.  More than likely the 67s you are talking about were not U.S. spec Bugs, but once in a while a non-US spec. car would slip through. Case in point. We had a new 65 Ghia come in with a ball joint front axle, 4 lug wheels and disc brakes. This was in July of `65. The floor pan of my faux KdF is a 65 type-1 with a ball joint front axle. I have not checked the production date. We even saw a `65 type-1 that came with a ball joint front axle and disc brakes. You have to remember that countrys like Brazil had all kinds of cominations of VWs.  `68s with 40hp engines, 70 bugs that looked like `67s etc. etc.  World wide changes are hard to keep up with as you will find out during your tour into the world of our "little critters". When all is revealed to you,I hope you will share with the rest of us. I have been envolved with VW 40+ years and I haven't figured "whats-what " with them yet. :lol:  :lol:

I "think" that the IRS setup was mostly aimed at the US market.  Swing axle trannys for some European markets were being produced in Germany at the same time IRS trannys were being installed in US bound bugs.  I could be wrong, but I don't think Mexico ever produced IRS tranny bugs.  Most European markets were getting disc brake on their bugs while it wasn't even a option in the US.  Up until the mid 1990's, a 40 Horsepower 1200 was the standard engine in Mexico . . . the 1600 was an option.  The only bug engine to hit the US market with dual port heads was the 1600 . . . while some markets got 1300 dual ports.  I've seen a factory installed sliding rag top in a 1967 Bug.  US bound bugs had the metal sun roof starting in '64.  Bay window bus production ended in 1979, right?  How do you explain the 1980-something bus that Kyle bought a while back . . . a Bay window bus with a water-cooled engine.  That's how it left the factory . . . almost identical to a late 70's US market type 2 . . . except for the water cooled engine and the radiator up front . . . and a factory pannel in the rear package floor so you could get to the fuel tank sending unit without pulling the engine and tank.  They still build bay window type 2's in Brazil that are powered by a 1600 cc air cooled engine - http://www.vw.com.br/default.asp?turl=%2Fautomoveis%2Fkombi%2FDefault%2Easp%3F

I've only been "into" VWs for about 10 years and I've seen hundreds of VWs that most people will tell you were never built.  I can only imagine the things that RetBugtech has run across in 40+ years of actually working on these things!

I just need the overider part of the bumper,and please check the headlights for me on those 67's. I have 66 headlights and am looking for some hella lenses. But a good set of restorable 67 headlights might be interesting too. the 67 lights are flat where the 66 and before are recessed in the housing.
Thanks!

Ret.Bugtech,  here ya go.. I got the stuff out, bench tested it, works fine.
  whats it worth ?  40 bucks?  there was even some packing material in the car just behind the speedo,  I wont charge extra for that.
