I was just curious if it was possible to get a zwitter standard with the sunroof option. I haven't seen one up to this point but I know that doesn't mean that they to not exist. Has anyone heard of one?

Loved that car and it sold at a bargain for the price it was listed at. In my opinion, however, I believe it to be a fake. The thing that throws me off is the fact that it has two dome lights. It has the dome light over the rear window section like in dual glove box cars and it also has the later style dome light over the drivers door that started in the Zwitter era.

Not hating on the car at all cause I would love to have it in my collection. I'm also not saying that this is fact, just my opinion. I guess I'll find out more when I pull back the headliner in my Zwitter in the future.

Up here in Kanada the holy grail car is the zwitter Canadian custom sunroof. In 37 years of beetle hunting I have only heard of 1 zwitter Canadian custom but no sunroof cars.

Yes it is, at least that is what the birth certificate of my car mentions.
Type 11E, standard sedan with sunroof Laughing

But a long way to go before it is back to original
