It's a 65' sunroof, definitely not as clean as the 63' but it came with some cool parts!

Flat 4 makes them. They are Enkei style. Here's a link

Cip1 used to sell them, but I can't find them there anymore. Are they still being made?
By the way that Ruby Red Bug is Hella Awesome! |

Yeah, sold the 65' sunroof and just recently picked this one up. That is a crappy pic of it, it's a lot shinier than it looks. The pass rear fender, deck lid, and rear apron were primered for some reason but it looks ok overall. This one was built in 65', has the 65' deck lid, and the 65' door handles.

LOL, that's ok, the 66' is shaping up fairly nice and I may end up with a really original 58' ragtop or a nice 59' if it isn't gone already.

I'm hoping so, might not be able to let the 66' go though. The woman is kind of attached to it already. lol
