It looks like a 1968 to me.  Although if you google it - some people said that John Lennon owned it - not true - and that it was a 1967 - I don't think this is true either.  The car is on display in the Autostadt Museum in Wolksburg, Germany.

The worst performance mod is whatever you're limited to because you convinced yourself (or others) that anything bigger or faster was too extreme for a street car.
