Beautiful car! I owned a '67 and '69 in exact same color.
Just to confirm -- your ad says Original Owner, but you hold title and are not actually the original owner, is that correct?
Thanks.

Sweet VeeDub! My first car was a well loved, 'salvaged' and resurrected '67 VW Beetle in the exact some colors as this one (though the seats were white vinyl). It sure was a blast to drive, though the transmission was sure temperamental! Here here is a pic of mine for comparison:
'67 is without a doubt the best year of the classic VW bug. Factory 12v system with classic, lighter weight body style. GLWS! If you see a twin driving around the southern San Diego area, that might be my old bug!

Really? Equating tires with paint isn't even close. Wake up people, if its been repaint then its not original. Still a nice car, but not all original and shouldn't be presented as such.

Yes I essentially purchased it from the family of the original owner (Harold the rocket scientist passed away in 1992).

Great, well keep 1967 Beetle ....
Excellent V'dub Beetle ! Wasn't '67 the initial year for 12 volt system's or was it 1966? Nice condition with documents to back it up, however the non-factory exterior paint finish misses the all original mark. "Original" is a distinction left for the factory production paint work. The 10 year old re-spray from the way you've describe,, is a much higher quality finish than what 1967 VAG production methods could ever have been ....
I'd sell this point over attempting to spiritually "channel" the term original.
Good luck selling..
PS. Big vintage V'dub & 914 VW/Porsche fan's here. Wife has an uber original, minty-mint condition '79 Beetle convertible. (look to Coker Tire for Super Beetle period 1970's Michelin XzX radials if interested) Myself, i've owned several mid '70's Super Beetle's and last but not least the "first car" was a white 1965 sunroof Beetle ... what winter memories.... A classic, the neighbor's 7 year old hand-me-down first car for me. Paid $150 bucks and the old V'dub, needed nothing.

The car is all original as in the fact that it has not been modified like 99% of all vintage VW's.
The car having a high quality respray 10 years ago takes nothing away from it.
If you want an "all original" never touched car plan on spending closer to 75k which is what this just sold for

Most VW diehards consider it the "best" year if you intend to drive the bug to more then just car shows once a month.

Lots of interest and virtual tire kickers so far.
I am bumping the ad before it goes on consignment at the end of this week. Once on consignment I will not be as flexible on price.
So if you have serious interest in the car please get in touch with me soon! I am open to solid reasonable offers.
