Not super rare, as they are out there. But, super stoked to find one NOS.
Also was able to find the correct style hanger as seen in the accessory catalog as well.

Scored an NOS 15’ Empi gt steering wheel locally I was the 2nd person to remove it from the box since purchased new in 1970. The person that sold it to me was the first. The kid lost his job so his father in-law went into the attic and said to sell it for a few bucks his father in-law bought it for his bug bit ended up selling it and never got a chance to put the Empi steering wheel on it.

Wow, amazing score on the wheel. _________________ WANTED: Henry Veale Santa Rosa plate frames

I have this, not sure how rare it is? I was going to fit it in my '58 but never got round to it and probably never will. I think I will sell it on to somebody who will appreciate it more as it's just sat on a shelf in the garage.

The stamped metal type like that don't seem to be tremendously popular. Even the far superior HULS type that do sell for good money often don't get used because people don't want to cut their seat. _________________

NOS Empi vacuum gauge. This is definitely one of the rarest empi gauges so far this Is only one of 2 of these known to exist. My friend actually found this and passed it on to me.

Kinda along the same lines. I just found this one locally. Gentlemen was a Porsche guy from back in the day who bought it new and never installed it.
Pretty stoked to say the least.

These aren’t original vw accessories but they fit perfect on early ribbed door oval and split beetles. There are 2 different styles as pictured. The curved handle that is sought after and easier to find also repopped but they made the bases flat and don’t fit ribbed doors then The flat style that I have yet to see anyone else Have

I haven't seen those in a long time. Super cool. I want to say they are from a casket or were seen to be used on them. That's sticking out in my mind off a conversation long ago. Possibly a post here on the samba? _________________

Great bunch of crusty accessories! Those front gravel guards, I've had several over the years but they all had holes and were mounted with small carriage style bolts. Are yours stamped steel? How were they held in place? Do they have mounting studs on the backside? _________________ My Beetles :

I tested the radio, the clock and the motometer gauge and they seem to work the have surface rust on them I cleaned the one panel with the clock and also the clock aswell it came out nice pics tomorrow of all the parts cleaned up 👍 the radio was just as rusty and it came out nice. The gravel guards have 3 studs on the back side of them. I. Role one stud but was able to get the other 5 off without breaking them. _________________ ** HELL YEAH I'LL SELL IT TO YOU**

Hi, I'm wondering if you still have this kit vw7266?? And if you've gained some more information about it since owning it. I'm seeing two kits on Samba that I'm interested in, but one is a VW ACCESSORY BOX and the other is a actual HELPHOS "SUPER SPRAYER" BOX. They are both coming from international sellers @ around $700 USD. Do you think that is a fair deal?
