Dusty But Not Rusty: 1967 Volkswagen Beetle Type 1

DailyTurismo Classic Aircooled, Beetle, German, Type 1, Volkswagen 2

One of my only automotive acquisition regrets is the time I turned down an offer for a free Volkswagen Beetle. It was actually two Beetles, but the parts were in boxes and the body was separated from the pan and my ability to assembled one working Beetle from the assorted boxes/bags/piles was questionable given the other projects I was also nursing along…so the Beetle went to someone else to store the pieces of another automotive jigsaw puzzle. However, today’s next feature seems like a much shorter putt to get your Vee-Dub itch scratched. Find this 1967 Volkswagen Beetle offered for $3,000 in Vernonia, OR via craigslist. Tip from JB1025.

I was going to apologize for posting yet another kit car on the pages of DT, but then I remembered two of my New Years Resolutions that weren’t obliterated by COVID19 — 1) I wasn’t going to apologize to anybody for anything and 2) I was gonna post more kit cars on DT.

The Future From The Past: 1970 Volkswagen Concept Car

DailyTurismo Classic Beetle, Concept Car, Custom, German, Kit Car, Volkswagen 2

File this next car under oddball because I’m not sure what to make of it. It is sold via Kijiji by an outfit that calls itself the Guild of Automotive Restorers in Ontario but they have nothing about the car on their website and the internet in general seems devoid of any info on the supposed 1970 Volkswagen Concept built by a California design firm. In fact, the only other reference I could find about the car was a posting on the Guild’s facebook page from 2017 of somebody named Billy trying to get the “VW Concept” running. However, it has some seriously groovy looks and could be an interesting auto archaeology project for someone with time to dig. Find this 1970 Volkswagen Concept Car offered for $5000 CAD ($3738 USD) in Bradford, Ontario, Canada via kjiji.net. Tip from MNMunky.

Orange Is The New Baja: 1968 Volkswagen Beetle

DailyTurismo Uncategorized Baja Bug, Beetle, Type 1, Volkswagen 1

The Volkswagen Type 1 Beetle is a famously cheap car to drive around…probably because the engineering is simple, parts are cheap, and everything is fixable by a DIY mechanic. Things don’t change much when you raise it 50 feet in the air and put disc brakes all around to make it a Baja Bug…except that it […]

DailyTurismo Uncategorized 917, Beetle, Bottom of the Barrel, Kit Car, Porsche, Type 1, Volkswagen 5

Why have I been featuring so many kit cars these days? Is wanting to drive a home built car that looks like a crappy version of something awesome a lesser known symptom of coronavirus? I thought I was coughing from the fumes from this leaky Volkswagen engine, but maybe its the COVID?? Is it social […]

Face A Mother Could Love: 1970 Volkswagen Beetle

DailyTurismo Uncategorized Beetle, German, Type 1, Volkswagen 6

The next vehicle falls into the classic category of the love/hate or love-to-hate cars…and I’m not entirely sure how to react. It appears that someone has taken the rear end of a Beetle and put it on the front…or maybe just moved the frunk at such an angle as to LOOK like the rear…and then […]

V is for Vandetta: 1973 Volkswagen Beetle Kit

DailyTurismo Uncategorized Beetle, German, Kit Car, Type 1, Volkswagen 4

While I’ve personally never joined the aircooled VW club, I’ve always thought the correct way to do it is with something like a customized or kit-car style Beetle. I don’t have anything against the roly poly shape of the type 1…but I feel that something like a Boonie Bug or a Sterling would be more […]
