only on 1300 beetles and some 1500 notches made in Aus

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood luck. scarce

The customs were 1300 engined beetles that took over from the terrible "standard" beetles..

they had stainless steel blade bumpers with no over riders

and the chromed "Custom" badge on the engine lid...

These are Very rare... and
Only used on Australian assembled beetles...

best of Luck

Maybe the "custom" badges on Hotrods are actually off Beetles???

i had a custom car and all its history
the custom was an aussie item you take a standard bug and add bits that you want from a glovebox lid to all you could afford thus custom

Sorry boys if I did the wrong thing re accept ringos offer. That was the first and only contact I had with either. Sorry 65busser didnt think I was offending. Mike

No you weren't Mike. You did what anyone would do. No problems at all. I'm sure Ringo will come good too. A lot of people away at the mo. No, I was being a smart-arse.
Cheers

Saw someone advertising reproductions on Ebay last week, he was also advertising Deluxe badges as well, look under VW &/or Custom.
