Nope. It's a 63 (the first half of 63 (vw heads should know that they made changes in the middle of the 63 production)

I'm tempted to start up another vw project but if anythign it's going to be a 56 oval.
Why are you getting rid of them?

1. Got rid of the rag top. (so sad) and replaced it with the sunroom
2. Rear tail lights changed
3. Rear license plate nose change.
Just to name a few...

It's been awhile since I've had to recall VW trivia.
I had a '67 sedan project that never got off the ground (still had the dual snorkel air cleaner!) and sold nine years ago, and a '73 412 stick-shift coupe project that also never got off the ground that I sold two years ago.
Sold the Bug because I didn't have the money, sold the 412 because I couldn't find parts for it.

We had a 914 that you had to *kick-start* when it was hot, and it was better and more reliable than my ex's piece of **** "new beetle" golf with a body kit.
**** VW and their "soft touch interior" making up for catastrophic and persistent window regulator(twice)/coilpacks(twice)/cd changer(6 times)/O2 sensor(twice)/maf sensor(once)/brake/shift-interlock(once) failures. 25,000 ****ing miles, and that car had more problems than the worst American cars I've ever seen.
At least 6 different trim pieces of that oh-so-quality interior straight *fell off* while driving. My hoopty-***, beat-to ****, driven hard and put away wet Subaru that's had every panel out at least twice has never had a trim piece fall off, and has less rattles even with my suspension than a stock Beetle after 2 ****ing years.
Give me an aircooled that I can fix with a prybar and a hammer any day of the week.
Aircooled > watercooled.
