It's a 1967 that was being sold as a parts car when I got it. It was loaded with rust.
It spent the next 2 1/2 years in the body shop having all of the rust cut out and new metal welded back into its place. The top is a Stayfast canvas, and the interior is by Sewfine.
The steering wheel is a genuine EMPI GTV.
The engine is a new Type 1 case, which was spot faced, stuffed with a Gene Berg 86mm counterweighted crankshaft and 90.5mm CIMA pistons. GB 297a cam, new Gene Berg ported, polished and cc'd heads with 40mm x 37.5mm valves. Carbs are Weber 42 DCNFs, with mated intake manifolds that have been ported and polished to the heads, as well. Berg 1 5/8" exhaust ALL the way out, which has been HPC coated! NO heater boxes on this baby! Full flow oiling with a Berg pump/cover and a HP-1 filter tucked up under the left rear fender. Fan shroud is a geniune German Thing (181) shroud which has since been modified for the Type IV oil cooler to make sure everything stays cool. It has a 3 1/2 quart deep sump for reserve oil. A Berg traction bar keeps everything on the ground. A lightened flywheel is wedgemated to an eight dowel pined crankshaft. The engine received a full balance job, as well!
The front end has been narrowed 3", sway-aways installed and 2 1/2" dropped CB spindles on the front. The front also received a set of disc brakes from a Karmann Ghia. The rear end was dropped by turning two clicks of the torsion bars, along with a set of Type 3 brakes out back. Wheels are 15" 5.5" chromies with 205/65/15 rubber out back and 145s up front.
