Just scored this on offer up looks like it was a cool notch back in the late 70’s early 80’s but has since been sitting since 1991 in the guys yard. The previous owner cut the front wheel wells out along with the fire wall and rear luggage tray has all the fenders and doors missing glass has both bumpers and
Came with an oval door and 64 decklid and a 3 spoke steering wheel from an oval beetle he had. He was asking $500 but got him down to $100 for it all since it was pretty roached but with good parts. ANYONE recognize this notch came with both plates “noched” just trying to see if there’s any Cool history to it if not nooo biggeee
Came with Louvered hood ,decklid oval beetle door and 3 spoke steering wheel and 64 beetle decklid

I do not have info, but that rear bumper looks like it has been widened and a cut out for a trailer hitch added, also sits really close to the body. |

Bumper has not been widened and sits close but that’s an issue that is easily fixed by adjusting the bumper brackets but definitely cut but from looking at it and from past experience it looks to be cut out for a stinger. _________________ ** HELL YEAH I'LL SELL IT TO YOU**

Looking at all the peeling paint and under everything it appears to be anthracite grey …… is that a rare color for a notch ? I see ALOT of anthracite grey on beetles _________________ ** HELL YEAH I'LL SELL IT TO YOU**

Not really, a lot of early cars were anthracite. Cool color though. _________________ I'd be UNSTOPPABLE if not for Law Enforcement and PHYSICS.
I recycle old cars and parts, other than when I rot, that's as Green as I am going to get.
Thanks to my Tesla driving neighbors, I feel more relaxed driving my SUBURBAN and old VW's.

Thanks for the info Martin
Yeah it is weird it got hacked up. The guy I bought it from said the guy was going to make it into a drag notch and put it on a customs chassis. The guy removed the pan and never came back _________________ ** HELL YEAH I'LL SELL IT TO YOU**

Thanks brotha for checking. This notch is pretty hacked other than the hood fenders and doors and decklid ….. the body is only good to put in a built chassis sooooo it’s time to part this thang out. Thankyou everyone for your input. _________________ ** HELL YEAH I'LL SELL IT TO YOU**

I could have swore that the NOCHED plate used to be on an orange notch with white bumpers in the 80s... but, alas, my memory is convoluted these days. _________________ 64 No'back Speedster "Pearl"
