If

you want to talk deal.

pick up the phone

and make your serious offer.

Before you send me an

email asking me for my "best price. bottom-line or asking

price" let me just make a suggestion based on 36 years of

buying and selling experiences. Deals are made through

conversations. not texting. not emailing or conversations

without even knowing who or what you are talking to. they

happen through

personal

contact . I

want my my clients to know who they are trying to make a

deal with. I want to know their real intent to buy also.

This equation does not exist with "What's your best price?"

and no personal contact. I have gone to great lengths to

find this incredible vehicle. make sure it's the best it can

be for you and present it in a way that no other seller does

online. I do that so we can talk. make a clear deal. fair

for both sides and watch a happy buyer enjoy their new ride.

If you just don't have the gumption to make contact and you

just want an idea of price. look at what the market values

posted above say. they are fairly accurate on AVERAGE

vehicles across the US. If you think this vehicle is

average. above or below. bid accordingly or. . . pick up the

phone and have a pleasant conversation with a real

enthusiast that can make your deal on the spot. Keeping it

real.

Let's make a deal. Call

When I see a Bug for sale. it brings back

a lifetime of memories for me. My parents had them. I

remember riding in the luggage area behind the rear seat

when I was really young (fifty years ago) and I can't help

but think I want to own that one. This is my third 1967

Beetle and really. I think it is my favorite. The last '67 I

had was a nice driver quality car but not fully restored

like this one and my first '67 I had was back when I was

only 16 years old and it was a Baja really loved that one

too. When it comes to vintage VW Beetles. the 1967 have a

special kind of flair for me. First year for the 12 volt.

still had the chrome small bumpers and the metal dash and

the fuel tank inside the front trunk. Just a bit more modern

without the changes that came with the '68 s. Who doesn't

love the low back seats and the flat windshield? Would l love to keep it? Oh hell yes. but it's

more important for me to sell these dreams to those who have

sought them out as much as I have. Truly my passion more so

than the car itself. If you are looking for this kind of

automotive history. This should hit your fancy like it did mine. The beauty

of this Beetle is in the details. This is where you

will find I didn't miss an inch for you. Hundreds of

pictures. close ups from top to bottom and I'll also tell

you what we did so you don't have to figure it out on your

own.

History. Recent

Repairs & Work Done

The first time I saw this Beetle. I

instantly feel in love. Who doesn't love a restored 1967

Beetle? Yes. I have had them as old as the late 50 s and even

some of the new generation Beetles. but the '67 holds a

special interest for me. In 1978. the second car I bought

was a 1967 VW Beetle Baja. It had a Porsche 1600 engine in

it and was fast and fun. This Beetle was parked on the

street just down the road from my shop looking just like you

see here. I inquired about it and had to have it after

hearing and seeing all that had been done to it. The owner.

had no intentions of ever selling the car. When he started

the restoration. he did a lot more than what most do to make

it super nice. The car was stripped down to bar metal.

window and full interior removed then painted in the

original color. Lotus White. The interior would not go in

until the car was fully insulated with Dynamat. front to

rear and even inside the trunk. When the paint was finished.

new rubber seals. new felt. all new rubber everywhere and it

looks like all the original chrome was kept because it was

in pretty great shape. I think I would have put on new hub

caps. but these are original to the car. He had the engine

rebuilt. the seals and gaskets all new on the transmission

and new axle boots too. He didn't put on new heater tubes

because it's Las Vegas. We have enough heat here. The

undercarriage was the only thing left original and it just

looked dirty and had it's original rubberized undercoating

that was flaking off. So we removed it and refinished the

floors as they are now. The only floor blemish was in the

usual battery tray. where the leaks from the battery had

rotted through about a 3 inch hole that the owner just

patched and sealed. It was done OK. but I always prefer a

patch panel welded into place. But it's just not too bad as

you will see. Aside from that floor blemish. this car has

been a desert car it's whole life and has never seen any

body damage or rust anywhere. Not even in the heater

channels. Fenders. front spare tire well. rear valance. all

spectacular condition as you will see in the pictures. Seats

were fully rebuilt with new foam and springs. new carpet and

headliners installed properly with window out of the car.

Plane and simple. this car is a stunning beautiful driver.

The tires are old and although they have full tread. you can

tell the heat has cracked them just a little. I would not

hesitate to drive this car anywhere in town. but if I were

to think about driving it cross country. I would probably

pop for new tires before a long drawn out trip. Aside from

that. this car is really nice. So nice and solid. and super

sealed with all new rubber that I think this car would even

float. Let's not do that though.

When you see a Beetle this nice. I know it

probably brings back great memories for you too. Maybe you

never owned one or rode in one when you were young. but you

have always wanted one. Finding one this nice though is not

so easy. First of all. there are still thousands of vintage

Beetles still on the roads. I see them just like you do.

Finding one with original metal. fenders. doors. trunk and

hood. well. that's another story. One you won't find near

anywhere. Finding one this nicely restored where you can

still drive it to enjoy and not feel like you need to put it

on blocks in a museum. that's tough to find as well. This is

that Beetle. Not a museum piece even though it looks like

one. but fully restored to a point that it can be driven and

enjoyed daily and the appearance of a brand new car. Most of

my clients tell me. THIS is what they are looking for.

Extreme Quality that they can confidently drive daily and

enjoy.

One look inside here and you get to start

seeing the high quality of the restoration. Continue to look

closely and you will see just how nice this car is top to

bottom.

The interior front and rear seat materials

are as the factory would have looked. the headliner.

steering wheel. door panels and belts all just like 1967.

Black and white beauty.

Best of all. no cut dash or alterations to

the original metal inside or outside the car. I think the

radio is original to the car too.

The front trunk is lined with Dynamat and

a carpet kit. very nice touch of course.

The engine date codes out as a 1968 1500

44 hp engine.

A note from the owner.

I am a “used car dealer” but before that.

I'm an automobile enthusiast.

I love original rare and

high quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade

I've been in business. have come to appreciate an expanding

selection of high-demand. high value vehicles.

I

specialize in and am always on the lookout for cars and

trucks that were cherished by their previous owners.

I

have an experienced eye for quality but I've discovered that

my preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and

I have therefore. built my business and reputation around

finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer.

Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict

requirements but a car must do something for me on a

personal level if there is any hope of convincing you. the

bidder. that this is an above average. exceptional

vehicle.

If nothing about the car excites me. it

probably won't do much for you either and I would soon be

out of business.

With just four employees and no sales

people. I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may

at first glance appear.

It has taken great care and

effort to create such an organization and often. an

unusually high investment in a particular car we are about

to list.

To sell the best it is critical to have a

trusted expert in my corner and Chris. owner of

A-Best Auto Repair

in Henderson. Nevada has my back.

He and his crew can

fix

anything from a low budget beater to the absolute

most expensive exotic you can name. no job is too big and no

small detail unimportant.

They do an exhaustive 130

point inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing

escapes their methodical investigation.

Experience has

shown that everything I spend making a car truly “right”

will come back to me not only with a higher selling price.

but a happy customer that says good things about me.

Moreover it allows my writer to describe the car with ease

and confidence. something that simply is not possible unless

he thinks it is true.

If major issues are found or

the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too

expensive to sell. my choice is an easy one.

I simply

absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it

at auction.

After the vehicle is fully sorted it

arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious

eye of Tom. my writer that creates the presentations you see

on e Bay.

He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone

else tells him about the car as he combs over every inch.

researches its history and documents originality and

authenticity.

Historical significance. rarity. special

features. possible modifications and much more are used to

accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty.

Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150

high resolution pictures that I take myself.

The

pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands

of the very best professional photographers and I've

developed a logical format that walks you around the entire

vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch.

I

provide detailed views of the interior. under the hood and

then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm

that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely

skin deep.

Even our detailers are enthusiastic about

the cars they so meticulously clean.

This

reconditioning can sometimes take several days and I've

converted a paint booth. especially prepared for the

professional clay bar and polishing each car lovingly

receives.

Usually. I'll also include a high

definition video that shows the car doing its thing.

If it's a fast car. we film it going fast.

If it's a

4 x 4 you'll see it crawling up a hill.

In every case

you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust. working sound

system and watch the temperature fall on a digital. laser

thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent.

How

many “dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a

buck-eighty? We

do.

No “dealer. on-line or in the real

world. takes it to this level.

No other seller or

organization provides you. the buyer. with so much

information.

I do this because it is the only way I

can convince a person often a world away. unable to touch

or feel their purchase. that my vehicle is for real and what

I say is the truth.

All the above is necessary for me

to stay in business while keeping integrity intact.

I

want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing

feedback on e Bay.

To accomplish that I need satisfied

customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was

when I bought it.

If you have any questions at all. please

call me on my cell at: .

If your inquiry

is sincere and your offer serious. you'll find me the

most accommodating business partner you've ever dealt with.

If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my

bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the

conversation.

Until you are ready to actually pull the

trigger. I will happily quote you the absolute highest

nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a

number we both know will not buy the car so. don't waste

your time. or mine.

I am after all. a “used car

dealer. ”

Serious buyers know the maximum they can

offer.

I then must simply decide if I can sell for

that number.

If you hit the reserve. the decision is no

longer mine.

I must sell at that number.
