1966 Volkswagen Beetle Deluxe review from North America
"A great driver and cheap classic."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much has gone wrong with this car. When I bought it most of the restoration work was done. I finished it up with a new wiring harness. 30 some odd years is pretty good for plastic coated wires. I recently had to rebuild the engine because of previous owners over-site in his rebuild.
General comments?
This car is a blast to drive! I am 6 foot 7 inches and I have plenty of leg room and headroom.
