volumex - April 27th, 2012 at 08:04 PM

What year is the pan?

Craig Torrens - April 27th, 2012 at 08:21 PM

Do you have any pics of the pan after it was restored ?

It looks to be a mid 60's pan ??

1966 type 3 - April 27th, 2012 at 09:50 PM

Hi
I purchased it last year with the pan already done i was told it was a original 54 pan
I will call the guy I got it from and ask him and let you know

type3disease - April 27th, 2012 at 09:59 PM

What is included?

I guess the hardest thing for a lot of folk is knowing how to put a project like this back together...
Are all the nuts n bolts, trim, bling, rubbers etc all there or is there a shopping list of things required to put her back together?

Definitely a solid enough basis (correct pan or not) but to find the right buyer with the right skills might be another theing?

Hope someone grabs it and sinks their teeth into it....

Any idea what flour she once was? Got ID tags etc?

1966 type 3 - April 30th, 2012 at 05:06 PM

bump any takers open to offers
Will go and check out the numbers of the pan tomorrow and post then somone can tell me what year it is

Yogie - April 30th, 2012 at 05:24 PM

It seems a pretty fair price to me. Good luck with the sale.

Yogie

1966 type 3 - April 30th, 2012 at 10:08 PM

Thanks Yogie
It is a great project for someone to make it a show winner paint your own colour and add your own hp
I dont think you could find a better pan or body to work with what you see is all steel no filler and a rare 54 model

Craig Torrens - April 30th, 2012 at 10:48 PM

Any pics of the restored pan ?

P.s the bonnet is from a early to mid 60's beetle.

Hi,

I recently sold my complete and running 54/55 Beetle Rat looker for similar money so your not off the mark on your price however, it did take a while so be patient, but I would suggest taking lots more pics as I was asked for heaps before selling mine. Make an inventory list up!

The Bonnet and Floor pan from the pics is from a later model so you will want to be clear to the buyers on that.

Does it come with the correct headlights, tailights and semaphore indicators as they are hard and expensive to locate, they will help with the sale. Do you have a repair piece to fix the spring mount on the decklid as this will help with the sale too!

Good Luck!

Cheers,

David

1966 type 3 - May 1st, 2012 at 05:13 PM

Hi
The chassis/pan number is 195621567 hope somebody can tell me what year the pan is
I do have boxes of stuff which I have not sorted but there is the headlights semaphores original 54 tail lights which are very rare.I do have a 60's decklid to go with it to fix the 54 deck lid.Not sure on the bonnet year.
I bought this to do as a show car as what you see is how I purchased it but I had it soda blasted

1966 type 3 - May 3rd, 2012 at 12:14 PM

Hi All
Have been told it is a 1965 pan hope this helps
