We have another S90 and we are restoring her fully nut and bolt not for sale.
My take on Notchback is they have cool looking lines ( low windshield looks lovely )Yes you can time to time here in Ebay see Normal or Super Notchback coupesfor sale but not S90 matching original engine one, have not seen in 10 years....Best Luck and Thank you for the interest.

As you all know 1961 T5 Karmann hardtops are all T5 Cabriolets with welded hardtop,therefore they have slickAerodynamiclines.Got info from long time Karmann hardtop T5 owner that 1961 Road and Track magazine article stated that T5 Notchbacks 10 miles faster than T5 coupes.......if you look carefully you will not see rain gutter on the T5 notchbackswindshield fram, rain gutterstarts on top of the windshield frame.
Todays market even a Rusty B coupe, non matching engine going around $25K
Here you have fully rebuild S90 original engine ( just the rebuild cost is $10K )plus rebuild transmission $4KJust the transmission and engine value is $25K on this project T5 S90 Notch, let alone they are original to the car.
It is a great chance to have a dry easy restoration body like this.This S90 Notch not meant to befor sale, but due to business need weend upsacrifice few toysunfortunately...Again,Thank you for the interest.
