@ abby:
Just WHERE did u see this ragtop?????? So this increases the ragtop count in Karachi to 5.....
Yes this does seem like a bastardised car......body seems to be of 1966 vintage, rear fenders as anyone noticed post 1973 or dented to resemble them, front fenders seem to be the originals......However I think the doors are post 68.....cant make out for sure from this one pic.......ANd the giveaway for further welding is the fuel filler flap on the front quarter panel..........
An interesting fact Id like to bring to everyones knowledge here......ragtop sunroof was available till 1963 when in 1964 it was replaced by the steel sliding sunroof....BUT....BUT .....BUT.....you could still order a ragtop sunroof right uptil 1967 for your bug.........
So the ragtop on this car COULD be one from the factory rather than a complete roof grafted onto the 66 body which is another possibility of course........
However the ragtop mechanism is missing from this car which if not carefully stored by the owner would be impossible to recreate.
Abby I want to see this car in person so pl let me know when ur free.....
