Description

In 1984 I purchased two 1957 Beetle's, one sadan with a good pan and the other a Ragtop. The Sedan was my driver. In 2000 I hired 'Master Body Man' Steve Novack (featured June 1998 VW Trends 'Body'Technical article)to graft the '57 Ragtop opening onto the '57 Sedan.This is an excellent specimen of an older Bug.The motors were stolen out of my bus in 1995 while being stored so I have earmarked a 1974 Super Beetle motor(see photo of engine #) that needs the top end rebuilt. It's complete except needs exhaust. Many extra original parts(see pix).I have not put my hands on the radio's or key which are stored safely somewhere. I'm still searching and will keep you posted.Body number's match Clear Title.Good bidding.
