Big windows and push button decklid started in 65 on Non Aus bugs.
64 still had T handle decklid and small windows, those wide 14" rims aren't original either.
Gonna make a good rat though, still 6 volt?

Hi
Push button deck lids were supplied by VW spare parts when a new deck lid was needed after a crash. They usually have a crude U section bolted to the
rear apron for the lock to latch to.
The push button deck lid is a vast improvement as it removes the rust trap area at the bottom of the T handle deck lid.
May have been a UK import, is it ball joint front end?
Steve

Cool car, I have one of those bodies as well.
I would have thought that car would have a chassis number that started with 195.
It has the stuff 65s come with.
As well as the stuff the other guys said I though 65 was the year with no horn ring.

Nope, second digit is the country of origin, 9 being Australia 1 being Germany, this being a German import has the 115 chassis number

3rd digit is the year, 5 being 65.
As mentioned the big window, push button decklid etc are also characteristics of a Euro 65

Now I'm with you.
Big window, early guards and long bonnet.
I didn't pay enough attention to the original photos.
I actually love these things which is why i put a 4 tab and W decklid on my 69. goes with the early headlights in the Aero guards.

ahhh the crossover saga continues, seen loads of these over the years and im from the UK, its a 65 model car but some of the early ones come with some
of the 64 parts, in the UK the reg year starts at august so all 64 cars would have been sold up until july 31st 1964, and 65 models from 1st august..
looks like a great find and looking forward to her revival
