The 1966 VW Beetle Forum

Hi

Welcome back to the air-cooled family!

We don't have many local VW events but one of the best is just a few weeks away (April 29th)

It's at Bob Baker VW in Carlsbad

just google: 'Bob Baker Vintage VW Show' for more info


Cheers,
Edward

I got my Birth Cert back and Sherman is indeed a Euro bug (delivered to Cologne, Germany), and on a separate sheet they confirmed that my engine # is the original 1300 motor.

I'm pretty happy !

I have an August '65 bug ... with a Oct '62 1200 motor.

Hi -

You may have a rare 'standard' bug - definitely worth looking into. I just found out about them and from what I remember reading they were delivered with the 1200 engines.

New member here -

Short of a VW birth certificate - what are some of the other visual clues that would indicate a 'Euro' bug ?

My SeaSand sunroof bug has lockable steering / ignition switch on column but everything else looks like other 1966 bugs I've seen.
