And the photos look more like they were taken in Bolivia than the seller's location in Florida.
Oh, and Samba member since...two days ago!

Talking about importing my 59 bug that i bought off the og owner almost 20 years ago. It was the only car she every bought and she was a school teacher for the kids on base in germany and when her time was up in 1959 she bought a new bug and had it shipped back to the states in new jersey( i have the receipt) and drove in back to franklin ky. she was still driving it when i finally bought it from her. when she bought the bug she bought an export model so i don't have semi's because she knew she was coming back to the states. the only thing she told them when she bought it was install a gas gauge and it's in german not english.
I ran into an older service man that bought and ordered 63 or 64 bug with a 356 motor he said it was fast.
Now a couple years ago my dad bought a 72 standard bug from texas and it came with a dual relief 40hp that was set up 12v. the only thing we could come up with is there was an army base in that town where we bought the bug. i know they put 40hp in cars for awhile in Europe and the block has the euro code on the block i forgot what that is though.

My first VW was a 67 European Standard beetle bought from the serviceman who brought it over from Germany. It had a 1300, 6v, early fenders, 67 seats, single circuit brakes, and 67 dash knobs,etc.
Had no idea what it was or that is was even the slightest bit special until after I dechromed it, built the engine bigger, and repainted it. It was 1987 after all.

No way I could afford that shit at 16. But I did have 165's all around! And a bitchin' JVC cassette deck with a pair of 6x9's on the back seat.
All that said, in 1990 I bought my first bus (a 65 single cab with 19K miles on it) and haven't looked back.

I forgot I had one of those too with one speed wipers and a locking column now when I bought it it had disc brakes all the way around and Porsche wheels. I’ve heard some of those came 4 lug with disc brakes up front and some were 5 lug.

70k for a meticulously restored bus without any interior and a scoop of some sort on one side? No thanks. |
I can't quite tell, but I think that there is no headliner installed.
That means you get to remove the windows and the door seals to install the headliner. |
I will pipe in since I've seen the bus and
the seller is a stand up individual who does nice work.
I'm pretty sure its a real 21. |

^its nice that the seller has so many items for sale and offers new products and such but I feel he almost needs his own thread on for over-pricededness.
those are like 50-200 dollar items not like 500. |

Exactly. Corey is on the high side but I got $250 for the last one I sold and that was two years ago. Many are missing the hinges/board that attaches it to the wall.

i seem to remember that starting in 65 you could get IRS in the rear and disk brakes up front, automatic cars i think? all others through 67 were swing axle drums and 4 speed. just from memory, though. then again it has been 20 years that i left germany
