The 1966 VW Beetle Forum

Google. Just surfed in; glad I did.

Eh. You can get stock rebuilts for not a whole lot (under 400 dollars with the core). If there's a VW shop in your area they can probably grind the bellhousing to fit a 12v flywheel as well. It's not too complicated. You can do it yourself if you're mechanically inclined. Thanks; I knew about the b...

The engine in question is from a 66 bug (F code) still has approx 57,000 original...

I'm looking for an original type 7 piece carpet set (in red). Mid American Motorworks used to carry them, but they've been discontinued. Most of the ones I've found so far cost upwards of $400-500, and that's way too rich for my blood! Does anyone out there know where I can find a good quality carpe...

Greetings, All! I'm new to this forum, and I'm looking forward to meeting fellow fans of the '66 Beetle and sharing stories and information. Just a bit about myself: I live in Iowa and I'm married with one child (a boy who I hope will grow up to share my interest in VWs), and a cat. As you can tell ...
