I can't think of anything sweeter than the Type III convertible. Else early prototypes.

Early dash so it's before the Zwitter:

TheSamba.com :: View topic - What is a Zwitter?
A Zwitter was produced from October 52 to around mid-53. You can tell its a zwitter because it has the split rear windshield but the dash is that of an oval window car (instead of the dual gloveboxs of a regular split). Also has a lot of other Zwitter only parts. Pretty rare cars and parts are hard to get since
I was thinking last night that even at my age, I could pull and do a top end on the Superbeetle engine, if I could get someone else to reach the top engine mounting bolts. That's all that keeps it off the road. I should be able [to get a shop] to pull the Type III swing axles off my five-speed transaxle and put it in the Superbeetle. The stock engine could really use a five-speed.
