Hi, Im new to VW's and am looking at purchasing a late 55 ova on ebay. It is through a dealership in Bisbane and wanting to know the history of the vehicle. It's two tone Black and red sides and won a few trophies. The engine number has AD prefixes meaning it's a 70's 1600 but have been told that it's a 1200 36hp. Still has 12v. He is asking for $17995. Could a 1200 have a 1600 engine casing??? Confused http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1955-Volkswagen-Beetle-VW-Black-Red-flash-4sp-M-S Regards Lawrence

Serious about buying the car, then get on a Virgin Flight and go and have a look.

I would say the rego papers don't match the engine number because it used to have an AD prefix engine in it and it was swapped, I beleive the car is being sold by consignment, so ask the dealer for the owners details and you may just find out more. If you are not willing or able to do the work yourself, you are not going to get what you want for $20K.

If you do come up give me a call and I will meet you there to give some advice.

Cheers,

David

If it mattered to you, for that year it should be rubber floor mats and rubber on the hump down the middle of the car. Only carpert originally was at the side channel near door bottoms and into front area behind pedals etc. and on passenger side. Rear was rubber mats also. The mats were held in with a cirlce hole stamped in them fitting over a lug in the floor so they didn't move.

Imagine what you would do if you knew you couldn't fail
