Just viewed some pictures on the web. Looks like that may be a '69 Fastback. The '67's had curved (wrap-around) turn signals.

The VW Fastback was the very first car I looked at when I was going to buy a car back in 10th grade. Geez - somebody help me.

You're asking for help in the wrong place, Jim. I say go for it! BTW, one of my friends' dad bought a new notchback in '69. It was that Nevada-ish color used in VW's and we found it to be so cool next to the regular Beetles half the island was driving.

Harry - you are just one of many "enablers" - LOL. By the way, Hot VW's magazine was/is supposed to do a feature article on that amazing VW place in Puerto Rico - I am waiting to see which issue and will let you know.

called "Savannah Beige" and is pretty close to Nevada. It's also a match for Fiat 500B Topolino "Beige #508" which is the color I painted my 48 coupe.

There was a couple that had a nicely done, light blue Caravelle on the California Melee a couple of years ago. All us 2 liter cars were passing them up the hills, but it still looked good.

On my bike rides I pass a black notch-back. I keep watching for a for sale sign. I think that is the only VW that could draw me to the dark side. I'd probably have to repaint it a bright, happy color, unless it was all original.

I'd really prefer a Squareback (Variant) rather than a Fastback. Maybe add a "touring" badge on the hatch ;-).

Lots of good ones on the Samba website..
