It has lever shocks so it can't be a '52.

I like threads like these because they always make you feel better about the condition of your own car.

| The chassis was saved as well, just not captured in pictures along with the body. |

Yea, that is NOT going to buff out. It looks like a deflated balloon.
However you have alot of wall hangers...

it would look really cool if it were mounted to a frame that put all of the pieces where they would have been originally. Sort of 3-D wall art.

| It was burried at least since 1976. A 3D piece of art is the plan. |

Fantastic! Great work!
Coral red Cabrio - very rare! What does the birth certificate say about the original color? |

| It‘s still not on display. Other projects come first. The birth certificate could not be ordered because VW doesn’t certificate by frame number only by VIN. The VIN can only be detected by scientific methods. The financial effort has not been made yet. |
