What happened to the 1999 chassis? Why did it need restoration if it's that new? *confused*

This must mean there is a complete 1970 German bug somewhere that only needs a new pan! :)

you do know why, dont you? They buy the 99, put it on a earlier chassis, so you get a brand new everything, but its registered as the pan vin number.... bypassing smog etc that would kill a 99 bug in the U.S.
