I think you are exactly correct Peter. I sort of did the original post as some
tounge in check humor. I think the "incorrect" hatch was probably placed on
this 60 model somewhere in its life, maybe during restoration, but then the
seller is asking $45,000 for an exact "original" bus.

What would high hinge doors be doing on a '61 anyway?

Peter you've got good eyes. I didn't even notice the coat hooks. My sources
also indicate that the hatch is only correct for 61/63, not 60. Can't be a
late 60 because they quit putting the bastard engines in before the model year
was over,or it's a late 60 with the wrong engine. Also, it has an incorrect
fuse panel for a 60. They didn't use that fuse panel till either late 60 or
61. I really think what the guy has is a 61 and he thinks it is a 60. But
then that doesn't explain the engine. Could it be that it ain't that original
after all?

the Bus is a very late '60 model, it could be that they ran out of the early
hatches early though. I also wonder what those coat hooks are doing in a Kombi.
My $0.02,

Peter:
Or any other expert, doesn't this bus have the wrong rear hatch for a 60?
