Thanks Jules - may I ask...who is keeping this interesting list up to date? I'm new to this site, so may be mistaken, but the list here seems to be dated inJules Dielen wrote: ↑Wed May 26, 2021 3:45 pm it's there Pete! Welcome to the club - great looking notchback!!

Pete, see #'s 310 and 311 in section 21 concerning the Karmann Hardtop list. Have fun - the more you drive her the better she'll run.

Wouldn't that be a 61? My T5 is 200443, completed June 22, 1961.
Assuming it didn't take them more than 6 months to build another 500 cars, but maybe this one was early 62.

It is a T5B so a 1961.

Re: How many Karmann Notchbacks/Couperiolets still survive?
I have a 62 Notch Vin 202172. It was in a barn in Wyoming for many years so needs some TLC. The previous owner Vern Swain passed away and left a small collection of Porsches and I was lucky enough to get the Notch through European Collectibles. Its currently being worked on by PRS in the UK.
Originally silver with blue interior it seems he stripped it down, undercoated it and like many projects left it in pieces.
I want to drive it in its current state for a while...

#201976 bought in 1975 as my daily driver. Parked in 1984 for restoration. Hope to start that process this year.

Here is a good shot, along side Beetle production at Karmann.

202248, a T-6, recently surfaced on Ebay. Black/Red 1962. Recently did an extensive PPI on this car. If you are a registry member and interested in this vehicle, you are welcome to give me a call to chat about my observations.I have no association with the owner; or any interest, financial or otherwise, in it.

Re: How many Karmann Notchbacks/Couperiolets still survive?
Does anyone know the curb weight of a 1961 356 T5 Karmann Hardtop? I would imagine it's a bit less than the B coupe, less roof metal and all. My notch wants to know
Also, while T6 notchback bodies were entirely assembled by Karmann, did all the T5's start out as a Reutter-built cabriolet body with the custom top welded on by Karmann (hence no side badge by Reutter or Karmann?) There is conflicting information out there on that point.
