One shortcoming that is often cited when people discuss the iconic Volkswagen Beetle is a general lack of luggage space. However, this ’67 Bug addressed that issue, courtesy of its custom trailer. It adds versatility when it is needed, but can be left in the garage when it isn’t. This package could be excellent for vacation getaways or for drawing crowds at a Cars & Coffee. I must say a big thank you to Barn Finder Ted for spotting this package listed here on Facebook Marketplace in Brecksville, Ohio. You could fly in, hand the seller $20,000, and take this beauty home.

It is fair to say that Volkswagen’s approach to updates for the Beetle was evolutionary. The company had produced a winning package that was selling in healthy numbers, and saw no reason to reinvent the wheel. The styling remains iconic, although updates for the 1965 model year resulted in larger expanses of glass that improved visibility. This 1967 Beetle looks stunning in Poppy Red. Finding anything to fault with its presentation is difficult, with the paint shining beautifully, and the panels free from dings and dents. The seller doesn’t mention any rust issues, although it’s always a good idea to inspect these classics from underneath to check the floors for potential problems. The steel sunroof will make life pleasant on warm days, while the trim and glass are excellent. The seller includes a custom trailer in the deal that is eye-catching. Utilizing the nose of a later Beetle for the build, it will certainly increase carrying capacity. The construction appears to be of a high standard, but it would be interesting to learn whether it retains the original Volkswagen pan or if it features a custom floor that would further increase the space.

Volkswagen’s Beetle recipe was pretty simple, and remained unchanged throughout the car’s production life. Buyers received an air-cooled flat-four that hung out the back, sending its power to the rear wheels. A three-speed semi-automatic transaxle became available in 1967, although this car’s 1,200cc engine is bolted to the traditional four-speed manual. The seller claims that this VW has a genuine 50,000 miles showing on its odometer without mentioning verifying evidence. The car’s condition makes the claim plausible, although there is nothing like having a piece of paper that removes any lingering doubts. Otherwise, the Beetle is in good mechanical health, with the seller stating that it is dependable and easy to drive.

The positive vibes continue when we focus on this Beetle’s interior. The painted surfaces wear the same sparkling and seemingly flawless Poppy Red that graces the exterior, with the rest of the interior trimmed in Black leatherette. There is minor wear on the outer edge of the driver’s seat, but it doesn’t appear that there is any danger of holes developing. The floors wear sturdy rubber mats, and the dash houses a Clarion AM/FM radio/cassette player with speakers mounted in the doors.

If I became the new owner of this 1967 Beetle and trailer package, I would probably repaint the trailer so that it matched the car. By doing so and adding the appropriate wheels to the trailer, it would create what I believe to be a more “complete” package. Otherwise, I wouldn’t change a thing. The seller’s price looks competitive if the Beetle proves as nice in the flesh as it appears in the photos. If you have been considering purchasing one of these classics, could this be a contender?
