My dad passed back in 2011 he had built a sweet 1960 Beetle with a white ragtop. I'll attach some photos. Last I heard about 2014ish it was in Connecticut. I'm trying to find out if anyone knows where it is or any information on it. I don't a have a VIN just yet but I am looking for it. Originally was restored in NC then sold to someone in CT back in 2010. My Dad's friend from a local VW club found information from this site back then. Any information or questions/suggestions may help.
Update: I have confirmed with my step mother she sold it on this website some time in 2010 to a dealer in Hartford, CT.

Do you know where in CT? Assuming it stayed local, maybe a local club has clues?
Search here and enter CT... three clubs come up.

Try the CT VW Association, they run a huge show on fathers day every year. Chuck Pisconski used run it till he decided to retire.
Ive seen after show photos where it looks like someone took a photo of every car that entered.
