Question asked regarding colored rubber on the running board and fender beading. Was asked is this painted over. Answer :This was purchased from Germany by the previous owner (PO) . Was available as an option evidently by VW but not in the states. The rubber itself is colored it is not painted.

Question asked regarding date of 2007 on one picture? Answer Picture was included to show that although the restoration was completed originally in 2007 the car is still fresh and new looking .Paint, Glass, chrome, rubber seals, interior window felt guides all excellent; no rust, no paint flaws due to poor paint prep after 7 yrs. The quality of the car speaks for itself as the testament of a high quality restoration is how it stands up over time. This one is aging beautifully!!

Question asked how many horse power is the 40hp engine now? Answer engine is now around 52 hp . It's 1385cc. The MSD electronics and increase displacement work together well. MSD is a leader used since the 80's in the racing circuit. The spark is controlled by a computer with many multi sparks at lower speeds and longer duration sparks up the advance curve. This burns virtually all the fuel in the cylinder provides great gas mileage saves engine bearings and increases performance/power.    

Question What does the car have on the underside for rust protection ? Answer new pans and complete underside were epoxy coated and then 3m truck bed liner applied very strong stuff.

Question Noticed a front hood badge in the pictures I thought 62 was the last year for the Wolfsburg crest badge? Answer I've been told that early production 63 cars still had the left over Wolfsburg crests on the front hood. This car built in Feb. so would be correct as it's actually an early car for 63. Please refer to picture of Birth certificate. thanks great questions
