Celebrating 20 Years on the World Wide Web

Welcome to 1966vwbeetle.com – a global community of 1966 VW Beetle enthusiasts and your site for information on the 1966 Volkswagen Beetle.  Although dedicated to the specific 1966 Model Year – All Beetle Owners are Welcome!   You will notice some subtle changes to the site this year as it has been converted from it’s previous software application. All the information is still here, and a little more!!!

John Muir – Volkswagen Guru and Author of  “How to keep your Volkswagen Alive – A Manual of Step by Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot” said “The ’66 Beetle is my personal favorite. The 1300 engine was powerful, frugal on gas, and could wail at high RPM all day if asked.  This is an excellent collectable that can double as a daily driver, strong and well constructed”  True then – true today!

If you own, have owned, or are a fan of the 1966 Beetle, you probably know all of the things that make this particular model year unique. From the 1300 engine to the slotted wheels designed to assist in brake cooling, there were a large number of changes that set this year apart from the rest. 

There is a real passion around this model year, just take a look at how many 66’s are on display at the next VW car show you attend!  I created this site as a resource of information and a meeting place for 1966 VW Beetle Owners and Fans.  Please feel free to browse the different pages on this site, and join the growing number of 1966 enthusiasts in the 1966 VW Beetle Forum.  The tab called “My 1966 Blog” is made up of posts around my 66 beetle, mechanical issues, car shows, parts, and some other musings.
