There is a 61 bug for sale in the classified section. It has a picture of "this" located on the passenger side floor board. Can anyone tell me what "this" is?

A well ventilated hookah.
The upside down chrome thing is a cheesy aftermarket air filter. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

It's as effective there as it would be on top of the carburetor. _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.

Looks like a filter canister for a respirator. Usually there are two needed, but old style gas masks only had one. They are usually army green.

To me it's an indication that the POS won't start unless you prime it down the carb a little first, or maybe the choke sticks on and needs to be held open, or possibly it requires a shot of ether, either way it's sick (and not in that cool sick way). Once it was finally started up to move to the photo location the owner grabbed the shitty airfilter before closing the decklid and tossed it inside the car. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.
Please don't PM technical questions, ask your problem in public so everyone can play along. If you think it's too stupid post it here
Stop dead photo links! Post your photos to The Samba Gallery!
