same reason people call 56-and later steering wheels batwings, earlier cars are cooler and they want their parts to seem so as well _________________ drive your split. |

original Nordstadt car, difficult to prize...like an original Gene Berg car is, even it has missed its matching pan car is worth a lot |

^^^ and yet after all the modifications it has spent most of its time in a garage, so can't be that great to drive...
meanwhile 12k for this assortment?

This one is laughable and worth only about half his asking:

Wanting top dollar and you don’t even get a correct motor. Not to mention all the rust flashing on the underside of the body. Clearly poor body work showing its age. I did also enjoy all the new hardware and parts that were left unpainted lol. |

[After the Schwimmwagen, the Kübelwagen is supposedly the second most thought after WW2 vehicle.]
Um, ever heard of an 82E? |

This one is, interesting....the nose skin has been replaced along with the rockers. Bottom of the doors have also had some work done. Deck lid isn’t correct and the windshield section is homemade.
That said, it looks to be a solid restoration candidate with some original metal in places that look decent. I’d love to see the body number personally as there’s a hodgepodge of things on her that make her seem more 43’ than 44’. |

ok.. so when you say the car is number matching that means engine and trans and when you say your car is fully restored we expect it to have glass and an interior |
