I’m a Chevy guy and have been for 4+ decades. I’d never cut up a ‘57 Chevy. Should I look for someone interested in restoring this (best guess ‘56-‘57) body. I wouldn’t mind using the 1962 chassis for an old school dune buggy.

YES!

It is like saving a 57 Bel Air! Got to save them, so they stay around.

yes it needs to be saved...but I don't think it needs restoring, it's a fine piece of vw history as is...
