Aerodynamic design question.

I am hoping to get an old aircooled volkswagen again sometime in the future. I have always been fond of the beetle and would love another one. However I was looking at my son's VW Fastback Matchbox car the other day and was remarking at the shape. Since I have always wanted one of these too... I want to know what you guys think. Immediate plans would include bumper deletion (replace with T-bars) and rear wheel pants.

edit: I don't suppose anyone knows the Cd on one of these?
