This is an example of a well preserved vintage Volkswagen. It’s for sale on TheSamba.com. According to the ad it is 99% original. Too bad the pictures are way to small to discuss the accuracy of that percentage. From what I can see on the thumbnails the engine area has some incorrect parts or it could be a 36 hp engine. The seats ( hopefully still the original ones ) could be covered with seat covers or the original upholstery is missing. The tail lights look like they have been updated to later Split tail lights. Original tail lights would be very hard to find ( I’m still looking for a pair
). Nonetheless it is a good restoration base or just leave it the way it looks like now and drive it. If I had the money ( €18000,- ) it would be very tempting!
very tempting. It looks like it’s had a life of being on the road and with that, parts need replacing from time to time. do you think it’s original paint?
It looks like a blue grey paint which could be the original color. It was available back then.
I wonder if it’s sold yet. pre 50s are v hard to find. i’ve been looking for one for ages.
amazing paint for something 60years old.
love this site btw.!!!
