I have the original leather key fob that came with my 56 ghia when it was purchased in Germany.
Pretty cool.

'67 Original Dashpad in VERY nice condition
(2) sets of KG rubber mats (1 black set and 1 olive set)
'67 (2) sets of seatback release cables
'67 Rearview mirror - Bought for $20 (the guy said all the good stuff was gone but when i looked under the seats a very cherry mirror was looking back at me)
'67 chrome underdash ashtray in NICE condition
'67 Owners Manual looks untouched (Bought for $1 at one of the old So Cal Bug Ins)

I own an all original numbers matching body, matching original pan, original engine, original tranny, matching numbered stamped doors, hood, big logo'd sekurit glass, original date stamped Lemmerz beauty rings, titled, black and yellow California plate all black 56' coupe with very little rust... Cool

The only thing I found that was not original were the front seats and the sun visors. They are out of a 58' or 59'. Don't ask me how or why they ever ended up in the car. Reasons unknown to man. Rolling Eyes

However, I now have correct thinback seats as well...Can you tell I'm happy Very Happy

However, not all is perfect. I do have some body damage to contend with (front passenger fender, rear driver side fender). Think

Parting on a positive note, the nose has never been hit and I do have very good replacement metal for the damaged areas Very Happy

Oh, and I did find and buy a perfect nos interior light (56-57 model only)... Cool

These are the rarest parts I've collected.
First is a pair of '66 and '67 only door mirrors for the LHS & RHS.

Second is a NOS blinker/ hazard relay set for 12V. I've only seen this come up once in the Samba classifieds so I had to grab it.
