I'm not sure how accurate it is. Not really something I'd be interested in but others may be. The shipping is really high though.

Well, I can't see much detail in the photos, but what I can see is the wrong style bumper.
Someone just took an early 50's split window cabriolet and modified it just a little. Most people aren't aware of the small differences in model years. Might surprise some of you to know that over 5500 changes were made to the Beetle from 1949-1979.

I got the book "small wonder" and it list the changes made every year for the run of the beetle. Also tells the full history of Volkswagen.[CAT]CplSlade wrote:Well, I can't see much detail in the photos, but what I can see is the wrong style bumper.

Re: [+] War Beetle
Yours looks real cool. I like that blur effect in your VW camouflage pattern, but still prefer the dunkelgrau.MG-42 wrote:[+] > I like mine the best. *

On a side note, my grandad on my father's side spent the war as a Dutch merchant navy captain running convoys for the Allies, and when he returned home after liberation he was apparently riding a captured VW with a Free Dutch Army chaffeur (or so I'm told).
