Rear deck lid swap for 66 bug

Hi

I have a bit of rust at the bottom of the engine lid which I believe will stop me getting the car registered.

I am looking for another boot lid cheap to use in the meantime as I don't have the cash at the moment to get it repaired properly and was hoping I could find one to swap over.

Obviously a 66 boot lid would be ideal but these seem a bit rare and the one I have found the guy wants $350 for which seems a bit steep to me.

Anyway, I thought another year model may work also for a temporary swap if I can get one for the right price. Does anyone know what year model boot lids should be able to be swapped directly over to my 66? I would think anything from 61 or so up to 67 should swap over directly with mounts and latches matching up but can anyone provide any thoughts on this?

Thanks

I see u got a nice blue one this after noon

OK... I'm curious... what's different/special about a 66 deck lid ???

I've never owned a 66, but I would've thought it'd be the same as either a 65 or a 67 lid, with maybe just the number plate light housing being different...

nothing, there no difference between a 64 and a 67
except the last batch of 67s had the late model push button catch like euro bugs instead of the old T handle twist type

anything pre 67 will fit it
the one for $350 would want to be an oval W decklid in decent shape for that kinda money

ahhhh they all look the same to me😂😂😂

so it should be rare Rat $3500🤪🤪

make sure u water the moss every day keep it growing

the 66 and 67 engine lids have a 1300 badge attached together with holes drills for it

Just for comparison, I just sold my 54 w lid which is different to other w lids. It was mint and I sold it for $500.
350 would be about right.
