Is this bug watercooled or is that a factory fitted grille under the front bumper? Can't believe I'm actually looking at the car! :p

our's has the same, it's a stock grill for cars that (may?) have had air-conditioning.

Yeah its for Aircon fitted strutbugs:)

four more questions.
1.did all strut beetles for the usa have aircon?
2.or did all strut beetles destined for the usa have slots, ie. a common shell regardless of whether aircon was fitted or not?
3.does it's presence mean that the car originally had aircon?
4. is the airflow into it big enough for a t3 wasserboxer engine?

Now we've got that out of the way.....

1. No, it was optional (I doubt there'd be much call for it in Alaska.....)
2. Yes, as far as I know.
3. No - see answer to number 2.
4. Doubtful. It's only designed for the airflow for a small heat exchanger for the air compressor. A T3 Boxer is going to need a much bigger radiator. It might work with further ducting below though - Anything's possible.
