Recently found on an Island south of Australia, now back on the main land and on ebay...

https://m.ebay.com.au/itm/VOLKSWAGEN-KOMBI-BARNDOO...Sw8-dbKjgg

Looks like it has lots of BD only bits still.
What do people think it will sell for?

I can't believe how much it is right now so... bidding is already maxed out?

Engine # looks like 20-1102998 so June, 1955:

Looks pretty original with the 1955 fuel pump, spring clip distributor, etc.
Double pulley on the lower pulley?

WOW!!!! that is very impressively terrible. Not sure that the word horrible even comes close to describing this engine. so sad to see all those early parts ruined.
I bet they still say "ran when parked", hahaha.

Please send me that distributor, I bet I can get it working again.

After all, I rebuilt the one in Manny's Rug Works 3 times.

Originally
After tropical storm Irene when it was submerged in salt water
After tropical storm Sandy when submerged again in salt water.

If you want a real challenge I have an early Bosch distributor that I’m pretty sure came off the Titanic!😄

Sounds like Manny needs to move further inland, like maybe Illinois.

Does anyone know who won the bid and their intensions? I'm shocked that any of that rust is worth restoring but I've been surprised before.
