Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2021 2:14 pm Post subject: What Year? W Decklid |
|
|
I am cleaning out the shed and am interested in selling off some parts. I have a W Decklid from an early bug but I can't determine the age.
Anyone determine what years this decklid was used?
Thanks for the help,
H.Alex

Yeah I saw that one... very nice. No "water catchers" but very clean.
Doesn't say the years though...

I think it is a 56 or 57 based on the spring mount, and the little bumpout where the wire clamps near the spring mount.
Someone may correct this if wrong, which is fine. I think the older lids did not have the bumpout, and early 55 lids had the triangular spring perch. _________________ 1-0900722 die langsame grüne Schildkröte

56-57 like everyone said. What I can't believe is that no one has asked you how much you intend to sell it for..???? _________________ 2003 Samba Chummie Winner- Best Story

1st off THANKS for the info. 56-57 seems right to me. I've had that lid for literally decades. I've forgotten where it came from. I never had a 50's model 151 (convertible).
I'll post it in classifieds.
price? maybe 1/2 of that fancy one.
Again, great response and info. Very active forum indeed.

yeah, I didnt read it at first because it didnt say convertible. I'd think $1500-1800. They sit when they are more. |
