Great picture! Wonder if Binz painted it green, or if the German Oil Company did?

^^^ That is a great question. If you have ever seen an original paint Binz, you know that the paint and masking qualities were severely lacking.

That's Gerson in the peaked cap handing over his latest work.....something ironic about DEA and Columbia and funky green.

I have recently been shown pics of a "new" one that supposedly is not in the registry. Maybe it will surface soon.

| My current info is that #44 is owned by someone on here who sent me a pic of the #44 tag as well. Which would make it the oldest known Binz at this time. Registry update to follow as well as some updated pics of a few. |

For fear of it being lost forever.

In 1988, Lompoc, CA... someone donated a black above the belt line & goldish-coppery-rust below the belt line '59 Binz to the high school auto shop class. It had no rear bumper, front bumper with towel bars, canned ham tail lights retrofitted & radiused rear wheel arches. I had just restored my '59 beetle I bought for $125 from a teacher at the high school a couple years earlier for my first car & wasn't in the market. The Binz languished on the side of the auto shop building for about a year with no one lifting a finger & then I saw a buddy driving it around (he bought it / fixed it or something). It had the rear suicide door.
It was around Lompoc for sure til at least about '91-'92. I moved away & he moved to Vegas to be a bartender. Not sure if he took it with him or what happened to it. It was pretty clean.
