Will a 67 bug be 12V or 6V?

If it has been upgraded how can one tell?

G'day Matt,
A 67 Bug, should be 6v over her. In the Usa it would of been 12volt. Typical Vw Australia being late changing things over! You could have a look at the fuel tank gauge from behind. it will say either 6v or 12v so thats what she would of been originally.

Hope this helps, Cheers Bill

😀 That sounds real yummy 😵

A mate had a 1300 deluxe around 2003 just before i bought delilah, (63 bug) almost bought it, it even had all the old vw stickers but sadly she was a bit too rusty 😢

What will be happening to your little bug if you buy her?

easiest way to tell at a quick glance is the regulator will be mounted on top of the generator if its still 6volt

12 volt converted bugs will have them screwed to the firewall or fanshroud
