I bought a new '67, 1500 cc, blue VW in late '67...in Modesto, CA - I was in the military...21 yrs. old.
Talked the dealer into swapping the black interior out of a '67 red VW...door panels as well...for the light grey in the blue car.
OTD price: $1,777
Dyed the headliner black, chromed Porsche rims, and an EMPI extractor exhaust. Was considering a Judson blower.
Loved it...my 4th VW.
.
Then in Jan. of '68 a woman made a left turn in front of me during a snow storm in N. Dakota, and I slammed head-on into a bridge abutment.
Totaled the car...so the local VW dealership said.
Local VW dealership traded me straight across for an older two door Pontiac...mint condition...nice car.
A month or so later, I saw the dealership owner's kid hot-rodding around town in my VW.
I was naive in those days.

OK, back to the splittie
