Going back aways, I saw some pictures of these in the 'rararest of the 
rare" section of the vintage issue of Hot VW's (July '88).  The caption 
read that the car ('62 notch) was featured in the previous years vintage 
issue.  My mags don't go back that far.  So the whole car would be in 
the July '87 issue.
