My standard 63 bug
This is my 63 beetle. I intend to lower it fit some BRMs and fit a better engine. I fitted new seat trims and will recarpet it then cruise. Its
totally rust free so i'm going to leave the body as it is for now

Thats a good Standard!
Looks to still have a bit of the pin stripe left on the side?
Is it still original paint?
A few more pics would be great, inside as well.
Not many early Standards around.
Looks like a 63 to me.

Thanks Guys
Turns out its a 63.
The pinstripes are all but worn off. might get them redone later
still the original paint with some vintage brush touch ups. lol
Was stored in a shed by an old lady in Cowra for 20 years after her husband passed away.
Oh well

Hell that is good!!
They did not paint Standards as well as Deluxes so it's rare to see one so clean and rust free.
Looks all original to me.
Does it have the interior light block off plate? I'm not sure from the photo.
Must be later 63 because I've seen one with no hole for the interior light.
Here is a link to a PDF of a 64 Aussie Brochure. Go right to the end and I think its a pic of a 63 Standard like yours when it was new.

There is no cover over the interior light hole in my bug. The brochure is cool. Do you know where I can buy a copy of that brochure.

If the cover was plastic it probably rotted and fell apart. I have been watching ebay for brochures but haven't seen any yet. I
have them for all my other cars.
