I had thought 66 only came with single speed wipers but mine has 2 speed.Not complainin just wondering if those would be correct.Seems to have the original switch and everything

I've been told that VW did like the Model T Ford and introduced changes during the model year. The 2 speed wiper was standard in 67 but so was 12 volt electrical and some late 66 cars had 12 volts. Perhaps yours has both. while still having the 66 deck lid and headlights. Do you also have push button door locks?

Thanks Im guessing the previous owner swapped for a later model wiper motor when he converted it to 12 volt.It has a two speed with a rotary switch instead of a pull switch.Its a mid production car dec65 116517579

And I would guess you're right. The 12-volt '67 wiper assembly with the two-speed switch is a direct bolt in, and you can use a '68 or '69 if you drill the dash for the larger switch escutcheon.
