Volkswagen Beetle
1966 Volkswagen Beetle Specs & Photos
The 1966 Volkswagen Beetle introduced the 1300 engine, a 1285cc flat-four rated 50 hp SAE gross, marked by a 1300 badge on the engine lid. The front suspension switched from king and link pins to ball joints the same year. Slotted ventilated wheels with flat hubcaps replaced the earlier solid wheels and domed caps, and in the US the 1300 lasted only this one year before the 1500 arrived.
