Thanks for the info bro'! It did look a bit custom, but I'm a bit out of my depths on Bugs. I though he had taken a ragtop and modified the panels a bit.
I saw a racing beetle a couple of months ago on a trailer. It had to have been packing serious firepower as it had the engine hood modified to take in air. Plus it had lowered shocks, a wider (I think) track, slicks, and a single stinger exhaust. Hub caps were of the "Moon" variety. I didn't have my camera with me and I was crossing the road at the time when the van trailering it whizzed past
