Interesting '67 body '65 pan car at auction on BAT. Ends in three days as I write.
It has some good points and some qualifiers, good sounding high-tech engine despite the chrome.
Not a top of market car, but somewhere in the middle, maybe. Will be interesting to see what it sells for.

Clean car.
I wouldn't pay more than $6500 for it.
At that price point you're getting into some nice original ones.

| Must have had major body damage to put a '67 body on a '65 chassis... and sink that kind on money into it. |

Say, what's with that VIN stamped into the plate in the trunk? If it were a true '65, it'd start with 115 and have a total of 9 digits. That one has 7 digits, and per theSamba tech section would make it a June '63 build...
Even if that is a smudge to the left of the leftmost "5" which would cover another number such as a 1, that'd give it 8 digits.  |

But if the body is from a '67, they moved the VIN tag form the '65 to this body.
Most states won't know or care, but it's not a "real" '67 so it's value is diminished. |

...until the officials notice the VIN on the trans tunnel and plate don't match. That will get interesting

OK, I see the two raised 1's now. I was looking at the black sections between them, overlooking the 1's. An optical illusion. 9 digits total- all's well. |

no shit, never would have thought it'd get that high
I'm about the farthest you can get from a 'numbers-matching' purist, but there's just too many red flags in a conglomeration like that
perhaps the Beetle bubble is growing that much bigger, that much faster? |

So, what is the 'mutt' VW and how much did it sell for?
