As far as I know I am the 3rd owner of this ruby red 66, bad thing is my car has no data plate in front, I do have the vin on pan and no panel has ever been removed or replaced on the car. Also the motor has no vin, I was told its a factory replacement motor??  |

I bought this '66 right here on thesamba in 2012. The ad had 15000 hits. Sixty six Bug is a little new for me, but I LOVED the patina and that is why I purchased it...VIN: 116745930. I love it just the way it is.
