I bought it for 500kr (ca 50 Eur) . Spent a month or so with fixes.
Don't remember if the orignal engine did work or not, but at some point I built a new 1600cc motor, It ran strong. I did drive it one month or so too school in the winter.
But when the eber only made smoke inside the car, and the 30+ year old winter tires lost all there studs since they where so hard. Finaly the mastercylinder freezed. I borrowed my sisters passat when she was gone all vinter 1998 racing snow board in the olympic games in Nagano.
I went to bug run with this car in -98. Those where the happy days of bug run for me.
I sold it to a guy in the southern part of Sweden Skåne (what a shame) for 14 or 15000kr (1500eur) (a good price rallye at that time.) That was when I was working at Ericsson a few weeks in Katrineholm (Never again)
He then sold it 2 years or so for 7000Kr (Why this sudden drop) I called to buy it back but some Danish fella had bougt it (Shame again)
I have always hoped to see the nutria brown 1500S in volksworld or UltraVW at some VW-meeting. But nothing so far. This is one of the coolest colours on a type 3.
The -67 1500 6V
My first Beetle - Still owns
This was the look I gave it. I did everything on this car exept the paint that I left to a proffesional named Nisse. I had a summer work as a student at the age of 17 cuting gras and much other work on a music school named Birka. (it was acctually a realy funny job)
Two full months hard work to earn 5000kr (500 eur) Maybe the paint in total was 5500kr
Much monney for me back then.
I have had much fun with this car but for some reason it has eaten gearboxes for breakfirst and been standing a lot. It also has bent the chassis fork under the gear box. Wonder if there is a bad combination with soft springs (first year on 67 with Z-bar)
Heavy type 4 motor and fun driving.
The 67 was ready 1 month before i got my drivers licence I was 18y and 1 month when I took my first own drive in it (leagaly). A 12"coustic bass in the rearcompartmet shelf a kit system in kickpanels front was important stuff. It was great.
The -67 is under a very slow restoration, renovation in ultrarapid.
But at some point it will bee hard as nails old shool cal-looker in it's original withe hue.
And in my highest effort of finnish, I will only use the best things for it.
Not ever brake another gear box, or I will scrap her.
