And, had questions. I thought all 66 cars had metal sunroofs, or was that only a US thing?
Otherwise, what do you guys think on price?

The 66 model Beetle was not originally available with a 3-fold ragtop sunroof ...so this example is obviously a modification (someone has grafted a pre-66 ragtop onto a 66 body). With this kind of flim flammery, one has to wonder what else on the 'concours level restoration' may be less than authentic.
"Restored" or Customized?
Just like the antique car auctions, "Restored" means fixed up with nice paint these days. To bad he spent $50,000 on a customized VW. His personalization is nice, but it's not restored because it never was that way to start with.
An old car nut who got his driver's license in a new 1961 VW and has owned 10 VW's (1957-1972) since then. Favorite was the 67's (2), but the 66 is the longest owned and current VW.
