My beetle has weird rear right wheel arch, it's looking like this from 1967 but with no holes for z-bar. My vin number is 116 911 003 so my car is from June. On The Samba forum I found another two 1966 beetle's with same wheel arch. What do you think? Maybe somebody have this style wheel arch too?
I write "weird" because right side different from left looks little weird for me... But if so many beetle's have this style wheel arches it's original so it good for me
Add two more cars to the list. My black '66 had a '67 style rear quarter on the left side, and my Seasand '66 has one on the right side. This is because the new quarter panels were being phased in prior to the introduction of the '67 model. Both cars were late production run '66s. Turns out it's not all that unusual.
