rpcm ◊ 2007-01-09 02:06	I agree, it doesn't look like an original Karmann. It seems to be a chopped sedan.

Chisel86 ◊ 2007-05-30 17:10	This is (was) a sedan that has been cut into a convertable. The car is 73- with 73 rear fenders and a 71 1302 decklid. The louvers are correct for a 71 1302. You can tell that it's cut because the vent windows are curved while the cabrio windows were angled on the top leading edge. You can also see where the rear window used to be on the rear quarter panel.
