What are you trying to say?

Mon Nov 06, 2006 3:12 pm

I think it was an original and someone modernized it to pass inspection :(

Mon Nov 06, 2006 3:14 pm

If that's a '49 then there sure isn't much '49 left of it.

Mon Nov 06, 2006 3:45 pm

It is a '49. The pan, nose and arse are original. Too bad they fitted another front apron, later fenders grafted in a new dash :( and made some cut-outs for exhaust pipes...

Apart from the dash and missing split parts I don't think it's that bad though.
And if you can afford a Heb it won't be too hard for you to spend some more $$ on parts.. :roll:

I recall that it has been offered at an auction in Germany a few years ago. I don't know what the price was back then...

I'd love to have it. Though I think Split Karmanns are much nicer!!!

:roll:

But it is a real heb!

Mon Nov 06, 2006 4:10 pm

And buy it now for ONLY $47k!!!!

Mon Nov 06, 2006 4:31 pm

Looks just like my '71 Heb.

Mon Nov 06, 2006 4:36 pm

At $47K I'd sell the guy my "Heb"...

Not much real metal on the Ebay one...and the look sure is way off.

Still a cool find though, it would be cool to see someone bring it back to original specs.

And you could make back a cool fifty bucks selling off the 70's parts! :lol:

Was at HO05....interesting!

Only pic I could find! Strange...Heb snobbery :?:

:lol: Don't do me any more favors Steven................

I understand there is a Heb out there with an oval dash. I'd rather have that one. :wink:

That Heb was the topic on the Stricktly Vintage forums in 2003-04. The owner had stated he had a Split donor to graft all the early parts back on to it. Guess he never got around to it.

If it doesn't come with a McP strut front suspension and an AM/FM cassette deck ... keep looking. Those were rare options back in '49.

Now THAT'S funny.

I can understand the lights I guess, but to graft in a new dash?!?!?

Scheiße!!!!!

It was the "tuning" of those days!! :roll:

Just as many people today try to make their 80-90's cars look a few years younger by swapping to later parts...

In 60-70's a Heb was just another Bug convertible and obviously the owner wanted a modern look to it... :shock: Yes, it is sad but it is still reversable.

An other probable cause would be that it had been in an accident and needed a new frontclip. Better this way than it would have went straight to the scrapyard...

I saw it for sale in 2003-2004 on a Geman site too. The price was way much lower then.. :(

I wish I had the money. I would have the donorparts... :wink:

Edit: Here is a link to the site I saw it originally:
Modernized Hebmuller site.

By looking at those pictures the entire frontclip looks to be taken from an Oval. Just look at the bottom of the box behind the sparewheel.
