Its a 66, first and only year for the 1300 script on the decklid. Im happy to post a pic if its wanted.

Your are correct! A one year only VW model 1966 1300cc

I like the Vintage Empi wheels. Are they the real deal? One of my old bugs I had an original EMPI wood Steering wheel, Gene-berg shifter, big motor with 48 IDAS. Mean machine that did high 11s to low 12s in qtr mile. I've had my share of VWs in my past and can identify every type I-II-III by year just by accents of door handles or emblems you name it. I'm familiar with 1969 models and earlier. I worked at a shop called Johnny's Speed and Chrome in So Cal in the early 90s and street raced plenty" those were the days". Balloon Bicycle collecting usually goes hand and hand with VWs in some shape or form. VWs are still part of me even thou i haven't owned one in 20 years.

I have to say, that is the coolest look - what are those tires? They look fantastic with the patina on that bike. I like 'em original and can definitely see those on a couple of projects.

Here is a pic of mine for comparisons sake...

Look like Felt Quick Bricks that have been dyed brown.

Been a while so I thought I would post a couple of recent pictures. And please excuse the front rim.
