Here some pics from a friend of me , he buyed this 59iger beetle .
But in our city the sherrifs are so strong that it is a big Problem to drive this car legal on the street.  :'(
But it looks very nice  ::)
The engine works great

If itīs original itīs a somewhat unusual car. 1960 model with semaphores AND ragtop!

Honestly? Ok, here goes.

First, your rear suspension is broken.
Second, someone has stolen your front axle and just tucked the wheels back into the empty space.
Third, the rust needs to be taken care of - get it sandblasted and treated, then repaint. New bonnet and door wouldn't go amiss!

But apart from that, as a small window ragtop, it looks like it could be the basis for a nice little Cal Looker! ;D
