The door glass counts as one window. 5 each side, 2 windshields, 1 back glass and 8 roof windows equals 21 windows. A '56 would be a 23 window because it has two extra corner windows in the rear.
I said " '66 is PRETTY MUCH a bay window" meaning very late splitty, and yeah I've seen a couple '59s and a '60 with 21 windows. Might have been custom, but it looked factory Wolfsburg to me. Yeah, I've owned VW's myself, and know quite a bit. 1968 was the first bay window year.
Killer. I found a sweet '63 Notchback on Craigslist and the guy only wants 800 for it. No motor, clean body, straight frame and good seats and everything. '74 Super Beetle 4-speed transaxle with the overdrive (very rare in '74). I'm thinking of picking that up and dropping in an EJ22 Subaru Legacy engine in it. Tell me what you think of the idea so far. It's gonna be set up for rallying.
Yeah, that would be mean. From what I understand, the Subaru swap isn't that hard. It'd be perfect in a notch since you actually have room for a radiator. I had a '65 1500S Notchback a few years ago. I really miss that car. It was fully restored and lowered with BRM's. Did I mention I really miss that car?
Oh man, you don't even have to mention that you miss it. That6's like one of the best Notchies out there. I would gladly pay over 10,000 for one if it was in showroom quality. Oh yeah, I leave my Volkswagens stock and just lower them, sometimes I'll get on DubWerx (I don't think they're in business anymore) and Wolfsburg websites and order awesome stuff like roofrack, fishing pole holder, etc. So much cool stuff.
The ultimate surf machine, man. 1972 Bay Window Standard rat in the works for a 5 inch drop and a glossy lime green and pearl white over here in Oregon!

'66 is pretty much a Bay Window. Find me a 1958-1961 21-23 window, and I'll give ya props.

Sorry. No such thing as a '58-'61 21 window. And certainly no such thing as a '66 bay window.
