LEPOYET Sat Aug 27, 2011 7:54 am

Hello,
I need your help. It's my first post and I am not a specialist (for the moment !) from Beetle. A man propose to me this car. He say it's a War Beetle.










Thank for your advices, sorryfor my poor english

not a kdf for sure. looks to be a 50-early 52 standard? still cool!

I'd roll in just as it is........that is so sweet the way it sits.

Post the chassis #. With so many replacement parts on the car (from 1950-55 Beetles) it is difficult to establish the actual year of the Beetle.

I am not a expert by any means, but I gotta agree with the others so far, looks like a 50-52 to me. I would still take it in a heartbeat if the price was right. polish and roll it as is!

Agree is a standard split, not kdf otherwise would miss many parts, but the best is to see what is the chassis number.

I don't see any KDF parts on this car.

Early 50's Car in my opinion.

Wiggy Sat Aug 27, 2011 2:07 pm

Agreed. Looks like a 50 to me.

I have the number, wich is on the body

177 108

kdf38 Tue Sep 20, 2011 8:36 am

The number is about 1400 higher than the Jan 51 (Typ 1) number which is 175 714, so the body is from Febr 1951. The chassis may match or it could be changed.
