This 1967 Volkswagen Vokaro Kit Car is based on a shortened Beetle pan and was produced by Vopard Industries in the 1970s. This example was recovered from a barn several months ago and is titled as a 1967 VW. It is powered by a 1600cc flat-four paired to a 4-speed manual transmission, and is said to drive well after a tune-up, new battery, and a refresh of the braking system. The car was recently fitted with Empi GT wheels wrapped with new tires, and it will need some electrical work for all systems to to be fully functional. The selling dealer is now offering the car with a clean Oregon title.

The brownish-purple finish shows well in photos and from a distance, though the seller notes that up close there are some areas where the paint has some cracking due to the fiberglass body shrinking over time. Rear lighting looks to be from a later model VW Beetle rotated 180 degrees.

These are open-air cars and come with no top or doors. The seller notes that this Vokaro is unusual for having a molded-in windshield frame rather than a bolt-on item.

The basic interior is in fairly good condition with mauve cloth seats and edging wrapping around the cockpit. Seats, carpets, and side panels all look to be in good condition, while the simple painted dash shows a VW speedometer, fuel gauge, modern CD player, and unwired Sony speakers. The upper dash pad is loose, the dash face shows some wear, and the lower dash trim on the passenger-side is in need of regluing.

A theft of the previous stereo resulted in some damaged wiring that affected the headlights, taillights, wipers, turn signals, and gas gauge, all of which are non-functional. The car is still said to run well and the brake lights work, but the wiring needs repair before the other components will function. New heater hoses connecting to the holes in the side panels have been added with heater controls located in the standard VW position next to the handbrake. The odometer shows 100k miles and though it turns, this number cannot be verified.

Overall the Vokaro is said to drive and perform well. The 1600cc flat-four sits in the rear and is mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. The engine has recently been tuned-up with new plug wires, distributor cap, points, condenser, coil, and a new ignition.

A new battery, Empi exhaust system, and chrome valve covers were also added. The engine is said to start right up and run strong.

The Vokaro is built on a shortened 1967 Volkswagen Beetle pan that is said to be in good condition. It is fitted with a stock VW suspension, while braking is performed by four wheel drums with a new master cylinder and rubber brake lines. They have been bled using ATE Super Blue fluid. The car has new tires fitted on new Empi GT wheels. Below are two videos of the car running and driving.

The seller has driven the car about 100 freeway miles and states that it easily cruises at 65mph with a lot of wind buffeting.
