    Found this out back of my uncle's place. He had it on his 3B and cousin wants it sold.
    Can anyone tell me if it's stock/original?
    Thanks guys,
    Alan

    It appears to be either a Koenig top or an Arctic top, need to see the doors inside and out better to know. Probably Koenig or a similar top . WIndshield frame is a very imaginative modification, using possibly a VW glass and wipers. or????

    Thanks F Bill, I'll get more pics today and since his son was a VW fanatic, what you say could very well be.

    I would imagine that is worth quite a bit of money to the right person...not many of them around!

    Other than the windshield frame it is a stock arctic top. The original, which I think is under all the mods , would either be a wwii inner frame fixed in place in a vertical panel, or a m-38 style rubberset glass in a panel that looks like a m-38 windshield, only completely vertical. Very stylish and aerodynamic, not.

    Just that rifle rack is a $100 bill sitting there. I'd suggest separating IT from the top and putting the rifle rack on ebay - a VERY desireable piece.
