A pic would be the best way. There are plenty of people here who can tell the subtle differences.

From that photo it could be from '64 to '67 need more photos to get closer than that. can you get the chassis number?
It sure is a project, Hope it's cheap!!

Yes
that looks like a 1964=67 model beetle from the pic
wide front blinkers 1964>67
holes in the front valance also 1964>67
so, it had the large over rider bumpers too..

We're looking at paying about $400- $500 for it, It has no motor that we know of, Hoping to revive her again, as a slow project that we can work on..
interior is complete, although passengers side seat needs to be recovered. Would like to keep it yellow. Apparently its been sitting in the shed,
stored away for years now. Thinks it's worth it?? can anyone else see potential? My husband has already built His car, and complete motor change and
re-spray, but this will be our first vintage car to work on..
