Pardon my stupidity for asking this , but isn't the motor hood supposed to be flush with the body. or is for better cooling

Glad you posted these Jim, I was looking to show somebody your car about a week ago, but when I did a search I realised that you mustn't have
posted it on the new forum, until now. :thumb
So do tell ..... what are the current plans? Keep or sell?

Yeah, they are called "decklid stand-off's", and act sorta like a bonnet scoop, 'catching' air from the aerodynamics of the
body shape and cooling the motor more efficiently. Thats the theory anyway.
Yeah this is for sale. It will be sold minus a few of the accessories, but anyone interested can U2U me, and we'll discuss it.

I appreciate that.. Yeah I guess that some of the newbies don't know of everyones history as far as VW's is concerned..
This was my first car, and first VW.. I sold it recently(while, a while ago now I spose) to Adam, who is going to do a great job with it and get a
great deal of joy out of it like I did..
More pics available @ www.elisegowphotography.com . Thanks again.

Australian look
I picked up the march edition of trends and saw an interesting feature on page 40
They refered to the car on the page (that was built in the states) as been inspired by the australian look eg windscrean visor, rear window blinds,
fender skirts. Is this the start of a whole new look if so Jim your car would of certainly been one of the first if not the first.
recycle, restore, enjoy

Yeah I saw that Nick.. That car was a sweet thing.. But yeah, that was a little.. I dunno.. surprising I guess, that this guy had been 'influenced'
by the 'Australian look' and the 'trends' that were/ are happening here...
I guess it was one of the first, but no doubt, there would've been people in Oz doing it like that for years.. I suppose anyway?

i just noticed something - we all have 66's
me u and rhett!
Are 66's special in anyway or same as 65 - 67?
I know my cars body is a 64 but on a 66 chassis so work that out but the tail is again 66
Found that out when i got a new rubbers for Shazza and they were 66 rubbers which were too big, had to get 64's
weird huh

How do you know it's a 66 pan- did you check the chassis No"s?Your car looks identical to mine all over and I know mines a 64.What shape are your
seats?If it was a 66 shouldn't it have a 1300 badge on the engine cover??I have a 66 one of those custom Beetles and it has all the same bits as my
64 except for the dash- correct speedo but no fuel guage-still has the reserve tap.I can't remember back that far but there were probably some other
features that could help to narrow down the models.

They all had low back seats but the 66 had the tops with a rolled back look.You engine cover is the same as mine.They changed to the bigger no. plate
light in 64 and the wide front blinkers.What is different about your dash? Should check the build date on your speedo.Mines definately a 64 because I
have the original sales invoice-delivered in Sept.64.
