People wonder why I called it Vader...
They just assume it is because it is black,
But the real reason is because when I sit down in it,
It says" master, what is thy bidding."
Then he delivers.

I knew that was going to happen.  I would almost swap Albert for it.

Saw the pic you sent earlier. Looks good! I'd definitely take this over the GTI too. Bring it to the cruise-in Friday. 8)

Querried the Samba on the vin appears to have been built in the last two weeks of August 1962.  When did VW break the model year in 1962. I know that the first 1971 super beetle rolled off the assembly line in 22 Aug 1970, so I am wondering if the model year split was around that date for all model years...
I only ask because in the 40's the big three broke the model year much later in the year....
Thanks,
KC
