1960 Beetle engine
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me if 40hp engines were originally installed in some 1960 beetles? I have read a bit about the era and my
understanding is that 40hp engines started in 1961, but another source said they started in late 1960. Now I'm just confused! :duh
Also, does anyone know of an engine and VIN number decoder?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

The '61 model Beetles started in August '60,
This was the first of the 40hp engines.
