Stock as a rock 1967 1300 Custom
SuperOwen - August 10th, 2013 at 02:46 PM

Picked up this yesterday as my new weekend cruiser, dead stock 1967 1300 custom. It wasn't even optioned with seat belts, although a previous owner has fitted them to the front.
Original interior including headliner if prefect condition, 3/4 paint original. 99.99% rust free!

It's been registered and maintained it's whole life so apart from some very minor repairs its a case of get in and drive!

Here's a few pics, I'll post some better one's after it's had a wash and polish.

I reckon this one might be a keeper :love:

Apparently it's got a kombi mirror, so thats getting swapped out and donated to a kombi.

Yeah, just waiting on some parts to finish the motor before he picks it up.

Cool

Leave it stock, they're great fun like that!


SuperOwen - August 10th, 2013 at 04:41 PM

That's the plan :tu:

Sweet ride!!!
:tu::tu:

Good on you for keeping it stock, that one looks way too good to molester too much...

After a polish.... Probably doesnt look much different in the pic, it came up nicely though.

Just some minor maintenance to do over the next few weeks and she's all done. Might also see about repadding the seats, I'll try and save the orginal covers through. Some new carpets might be in order as well but the stock rubber floor mats are staying.

If anyone has a beetle hinge mount mirror or some of the thick running board trim strips in good condition let me know.

nice car , are you sure it is a 67 . seatbelts were compulsory about August 65 on .
i had a 64 standard with no seatbelts . was under the impression that was near the cut off point


L469 - August 11th, 2013 at 07:22 PM

scratch that it would appear it was compulsory to fit them 64 on,but not to wear until 1970.


SuperOwen - August 11th, 2013 at 07:42 PM

Yeah, they had to have the anchorage points but not actually have the belts fitted I'm told. The rear seat still has the little plastic plugs in the threads but no belts.
I'm not really an expert on stock stuff but I didn't think standards came with a glovebox lid, stainless bumpers or side trim?
Chassis number is 197760615 if there are any experts reading this.

my standard had factory chrome trim no glove box lid. nobody got stainless bumpers.


SuperOwen - August 12th, 2013 at 12:33 PM

Not according to the article on clubvw's website...

"The Standard is renamed the ‘Custom’, and is upgraded to the same 1300cc engine, with improved fittings such as chrome hubcaps and stainless steel blade bumpers (without the towel-rails), and improved (but still basic) trim."

Anyway, it's a custom. They're both poverty packs but the 67 was a bit less povo than the previous standard. I think stainless blade bumpers were a "feature" only on this year model. The deluxe's got chrome towel rails. My magnet agrees they're stainless.

Its got the wierdo 67 pedals

How awsome are heaters! :cool:

Yep you have text book time warp 67 custom
although hard to tell, are the smokers windows frames still painted grey?
customs had grey glass frame but chrome upright piece for some wierd reason.

As noted 67 was only year of staino bumpers.
The 64-65 standards had no glovebox lid but the trim was all still painted grey, but after 50 years most have had them swapped for chrome parts.
the trim was never chrome on the early standards.

Yeah the quarter window frames are grey as well as the lever/lock.
