1967 Volkswagen Beetle – Restored California Car, Museum-Stored, Matching Numbers

This 1967 Volkswagen Beetle 2-Door Coupe is a beautifully preserved and highly original example of one of the most iconic cars ever produced. Originally from California, the car was brought to Maryland in 1999 and underwent a comprehensive restoration that same year, including fresh paint in its original factory color, a full interior refurbishment, mechanical work, and a complete engine rebuild.

Finished to factory specifications with no modifications, this Beetle remains 100% stock and retains its matching-number body and chassis. It has been part of a private collection and kept in a museum setting since 2001, benefiting from a stable, climate-controlled environment that has preserved its condition remarkably well.

The odometer shows just over 86,000 miles, which is believed to be the original mileage. The undercarriage and floor pans are untouched and original, with no signs of rust or damage—another testament to its California history and careful storage.

The car runs and drives beautifully, offering a tight, reliable, and thoroughly enjoyable driving experience. The 1967 model year is particularly desirable among Beetle enthusiasts, known for its one-year-only features such as the 12-volt electrical system, vertical headlights, and redesigned bumpers—making this car a standout among vintage Volkswagens.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or simply someone looking for a classic that delivers charm, history, and reliability, this matching-numbers, unrestored example represents a rare opportunity.
