1960 Beetle

Post by Kev'z »

I've been looking for a KG for a while now but they seem to be getting more and more scarce and pricey so i've decided to get a beetle. I am going to go have a look at this one this weekend.

Has anyone seen it? any recommendations?

Cheers

The price seems a bit high taking into consideration the missing boothandle and the butchered dash

This one looks nice apart from the flowers but I don't want to spend that much on a project

The last one doesn't look like 59, wrong tail lights to start of with.
