Recognize this '59? AZ or PA maybe? looking for its history

ExtremeBean

Just seeing if anyone on here recognizes this car. I bought it off craigslist here in Mesa, AZ a few months ago. The guy I bought it off of said he had it for a few years, but looked liked the title was still open with a PA address. The guy I bought it off of was named Damien and the title was in the name of a Patricia. Please let me know of you have any info on this car. Thanks

It's actually in great shape. It runs and drives and stops really well. Everything works on it except the horn. I did a compression check on the engine and all 4 cylinders were between 115-120 and it has an aftermarket pulley on it, so I'm assuming it was rebuilt at some point. There's no rust on it at all. The floor pans and heater channels are all original but look brand new. I'm actually shocked by how good of condition they're in. It does look to have been hit at some point. The front apron was not welded on very well, and it doesn't have the original steering column or correct year steering wheel. It's also missing the correct year hood and taillights which I'd really love to have but the wheels and tires are brand new. It was also painted a pastel yellow at some point, I'm guessing sometime in the 80s and just primed over that, so I'm working at getting it back down to the metal or original paint

Did you get the title notarized when he signed it over to you? You are going to have a giant pain getting it moved into your name.

Did you ask Deasertbusman ?
He should know about any bug in Mesa AZ .
He has a primered 71 camper bus and a light yellow superbeetle that he uses as a daily driver .
You can usually find him Saturday night at the big get together in the shopping center nearby .
