I wonder if it was converted to manual from auto stick, or if someone switched the speedometer.
If it was converted I'd be curious how they attached the clutch cable tube. I've seen that job done very poorly and sometimes a lot of hack jobs.

Thoughts on this 61?
Two questions I have are, why are they color matching paint for the torsion bar covers, and where did the volkswagen emblem on the decklid go? I'm leaning towards not original paint.
Pretty nice survivor otherwise.
There was a thread recently where someone had mentioned how the '60 ribbed dashpads spilled over into '61. I can't seem to find it now. But this '61 does have a ribbed dashpad.
Must be a really early 61 since the speedo has a July 60 stamp.
Is that what the early wiper switches looked like behind the dash? _________________ Currently own:

Yeah I'm not interested in the car as a purchase. More just curious on folks' take on its originality, as well as the 60/61 crossover point.
I've really been trying to find that thread about the dash pad with no luck! _________________ Currently own:
