On my way to look at it.   No Title.  Don't know how hard it is to get one any more.

Its not a pleasant process, but it's doable.  I've been through it twice in the last 3 years now.

It's an automatic with sunroof. No interior. Body's all there in primer. Pretty solid body. All the glass is there.

Motor is in it intact but no wiring etc.   Guessing it's a 68. I think it's fuel injected

Well, I bought a bit of a mystery.  The body number and chassis number are both 0291215 indicating an Oct of 1963 car.  This is backed up by the overrider bumpers and the square push button headlight switches.  However the car has 4 lug wheels and a fuel injected motor with an automatic transmisssion.  So I guess it's a  1964 model car with a later motor and trans, but the 4 lug wheels have me puzzled?    I also thought it had new floor pans because I found a rusted out set in the car, but now it's apparant they were not from this car and the floorboards appear to be original.  They aren't bad but the seat tracks have rusted away where they meet the floor, I guess from standing water.

Check the serial # on the pan. It may be a newer pan under the '63 body? Auto stick started in '68?

Thanks Bob.  The pan # matches the body #, unless they changed one of them?   The body # is a riveted plate  in the right front fender and the chassis # is a small square tab on the hump under the rear seat.  Is that number usually on an added tab on the hump, or actually stamped into the hump?  I could take and post a picture of it tomorrow.   It looks pretty original, not a later transfer.   The trans is a 3 speed true automatic.  Is it possible to switch wheels from wide five 4 lug on an older pan?  

Edit:  I just looked on the Samba and found a picture of a chassis vin plate for a Type 3.  Mine looks the same.  At first it appeared as if it was a blank tab, but I used a wire brush on a drill and was able to reveal the number, same as the one on the body tab.

Putting the car up for sale or trade.  After inspection it's more than I can, or want to, tackle right now.  I'd love to see it stay local if someone has something to trade!!!
