I just picked up a 1960 Beetle for a project. The body and the floorpan have next to no rust at all. There is a bit of surface rust under the battery but is is still really solid. It has a running 1300 motor and it came with a truckload of spares...worth well over the $400 I paid for the whole lot. Apparently it has been sitting in the PO's shed for the last ten years. It was pulled apart for a paint job and that's the way it stayed. It has a few different paint colours on it but it looks like it was originally jade green with true red interior. I plan on taking it back to original.

Here's a couple of pics..

looks like alot of work, but good price though!
will watch with interest

Good on yer, I got a '60 which is my weekend -driver, to bunnings and back. Great model, tricky with no fuel guage though but mine has it's original motor. Good luck with the resto! mine could do with one but I love the original interior and old-car smell and am reluctant to change much. With not much rust on yours it will be more pleasant to rebuild

why why do so many people pull poor beetles apart and them leave em to rot
I hope you get him back together and back on the road soon.
