late 62 to 63 based on short door and large signal lights and outie vents...

Certainly solid enough to pick up.

I think that the best part is that the PO already cut the rear fenders so I can put some monster mudders on it!! YEEEEEEHAWWWW!! So, has anyone fixed rear tire fenders that have been cut? Once I confirm the year, I will order the correct panels for repair. Thanks for all your help.

Why is early 62 model year ruled out?

Unless the holes have been filled, the lack of a Volkswagen script above the decklid would lead me to assume its a 62. The wheel well repair sections were also different on 62, and 63 models. So make sure you know for sure what year model it is before you go ordering parts. You can find out by looking up the VIN or the date on the Mcode plate if its still intact.

If its not a walkthru, the front seats will also give away the year, as 62 was a solid bench seat, and 63 came out with the split 1/3 2/3 seats. Looks like the bulkhead may have been cut out, but you should still see tracks on the pedestal if its a 63. Or maybe those have been cut out as well...
