..at least I *think* it is, I know the dimpled shift knob, mushroom air cleaner, D regulator, short shock front end, and some other bits make it an early pan and engine... I'll get chassis numbers when I get back over there... It's in a barn in Northern CA, that's all I'll say for now

Eric, that's kinda what I figured.. the guy said he knows it's been in there since he moved into the house in 1952, it was there in the barn then...
I's not mine, I am "negotiating" with the guy right now... I have a few more photos, but no Chassis # yet, and it might be a little while before I can get back over there and get it.

My old Bug is for sale right now, or at least the parts he hadn't already parted out, like the engine, front end with Wilwood disc brakes, etc...

Yes, don´t wait too long. Try to get it asap.
If an owner made the decision to let it go, it will go.
To you or who ever.
The steering wheel and the aircleaner look really early.
The coil location looks post war but that might had been changed later.

The steering wheel looks like it's from a tractor.
