Because it was a '65 dub written off in '67 ?

pity they didn't fit the clutch cable bracket on the right way around then if would be worth the $

yep nice fresh paint after a grease wash off

I think he has the figures round the wrong way its a 56 box from a 76 LOL 😉😉

but still a single side plate box hard to find

I thought 67's were still swingers, not IRS.

Yup, IRS manual transaxles didn't come out till post 70's. Only IRS box available pre 70's was semi auto from 1968-70.

It's a single sideplate IRS box. Late 75 to 76 & end of Australian Beetle production.

late 60s Type3s were IRS too but maybe that one is the super rare IRS prototype complete with Kill rust recondition.

its a Z top 76 only box with an oil filler plug that sure has been undone a lot of times for a bug with only 12,000miles......
