1963 V/W Type 34

Wondering if anyone may have a line on a FW162?

Price is right.

Lefty, I don't think that's right, I think that link is for an FW26/222 for a regular Ghia. The listing says 1956-1966. The Type 34 Ghia which takes FW 162 didn't even start production until 1961. I'd call to verify before ordering!

It's possible they screwed up on the part # as they have another FW26/222 listed for less $. But this is all I have found.

Look at the sizes

FW26/222 measures 17 1/8' top to bottom in the middle

FW162 measures 22 1/8"

If you need a 162 and can't locate one, contact me

Contact Ira only if you want to have zero dollars left! Otherwise find a contact in Germany or have Lee make you one!

If the 63 is the same as mid 70's we used to lay a dw848 and cut it out of that, was kinda cool, only vw with shaded w/s. :)
