The 1966 VW Beetle Forum

I vote for the old one!

you could saw the hood handle in half, unscrew the halves, then try to get in through the glovebox to try to unlock the door.

I found mine on craigslist, and it seems that you should be able to get what your asking for with that kind of money!

This is a picture of the date , it says 13-9.65. It looks like it is original paint?

I have no beetle birth certificate, but on the tunnel of my 66 is the date sept. 13 1965. Original color is what I think is bajama blue with black interior.

Lucky!!! My 66 is my 1st car, spent about 2 years looking at old bugs and finally my right one came up! I guess I'm lucky too, I'm almost 15!

The guy at the local VW shop said that the Round button handle was a 67 only part and it shouldn't fit. I'm not to picky on th...
