I'll keep my eye's and ear's opened for one and let you know if I locate one that might fit your needs.  Pre-65 bugs are still out there, but most of them are totally trashed and rusted away, or you'll have to part with at least one arm, one leg, and your first born male child to get it.  The closest I've seen lately to what you might be looking for is the one that Herrell's Bug Parts (180 Martin Rd., Carrollton, GA   770-836-0749) has one advertized on the Southeastern VW Club's classified section.  It's description says:

"55 Oval. Lots of parts missing. Rust here and there.  $500."  That might be a bargin . . . it might be way too much.  Depends on where and how much rust there is.

Thanks Herb,  I have know John a long time. He came to my Bro-inlaws (where the keys came from) funeral in May. First time I had seen him in a very long time. I think He mentioned owning a 56-57 oval and has been restoring it for the last 20 years. You know how that goes.Not sure if he would sell it, But I didn`t ask at that time. I think I know where he lives.I`ll have to be nice to John because he knows where the guy lives that I sold my Kubel tranny and Kubel front spindles to and thinks that I can buy them back. I will check him out. Thanks for the tip. If I can`t find him , I will let you know.

I've got a '77 Beetle that was to be my project.  Everything is there, although in pieces.  The engine needs to be rebuilt...someone's bad bondo job around the rear quarter windows needs to be fixed...small hole where battery sits...interior needs refurbished, etc.

But now I see by your post you want a '64 or older.  But if you change your mind...  

In a recent post, Linda offered up this Beetle if the club wants a project Beetle...I can't really donate it, but I do believe that $500 will get it out of my garage.
