Udo, count me in, a 1958 from Chile, seems to have been originally Brilliant Red/Black....still haven't made my mind to go in that direction or with Dolphin blue....

Welcome to The Samba. I'm sure you know the KG Forum is very supportive and jam-packed with experts. I don't think you'll find anything but support for either of those Lowlight colours.
If you're embarking on a journey to bring your '58 to closer to the correct look, I'd advise you to start your own restoration thread. _________________ John.

Ok, I’ll join the party. I now own #84 on list previously owned by 56reddy and then sold to Tripwire. I purchased it a few weeks ago from Tripwire here on the Samba. He did an awesome job fixing the previous damage from way back in its life and getting it mostly back together. It appears to be an under 20k mile car, although i cant document that. Its a July 59’ car from the vin# search. I’m waiting on the birth certificate. I put the Sprint Stars on it.

Is there any numbers on how many Lowlights that was made, and how many that survived and stll exist?
Just out of curiosity
A firend told me that there is about 1700 T34 ghias known in the world. Are there more Lowlights still? _________________ 65 DD klenbus
