1957 Volkswagen Beetle Oval VW Bug Kafer not Split Garage Barn Find NO RESERVE

You are looking at a 1957 VW Oval.I recently found this sitting in a private collection where it has been with the same family since 1979. It has not run in many year, so I am listing it as a non running project, but the engine does spin over by hand. The vin plate and chassis number match, see photos. The engine is a 621200cc 40hp single carb.There is a clear Florida title for it. Some parts are just lightly on like the rear fenders, drivers running board and front seats. The drivers door latch needs replaced as it does not lock, and one tire holds air for a few minutes, but it does roll around and steer easilywhen pushed. The Oval did shine up with some liquid wax, but there are dents, scratches, pits, rust, and blemishes, but it still a very cool project in my eyes.I have provided 172 extra pictures below this description, so I am going to let them do the talking for me, but please ask all questions before bidding.
