OK, OK, I know I am responding to my own e-mail:  But just found this:  
According to Eccles the bus first had fresh air heat beginning on 12/10/62 with 
vin 1040368.  Which means this ain't a "perfect"  restoration 62 23 window even 
though it ought to be for the $65,000 asking price.  It is either a late 63 or 
an incorrect 62.     Not as bad as the "perfect" restoration 58 convertible I 
saw on the Samba restored 20 years ago by a VW expert.  Was "perfect" original 
restoration except when you read the entire ad which describes it with a 1600 
dual port, sitting on a 69 pan with Karman Ghia disc brakes.  Which is not bad 
except they want $16,000 for a 20 year old perfect original restoration.  Makes 
you wonder sometimes.  I think Everett should require a VW IQ test before 
allowing anyone to advertise on the samba.

   Ok, here is a question for you smart bus techies (Will-Peter):  Samba ad by 
Jesse Kimball (related to Rich ?)  "perfect" 62 23 window for big bucks shows 
fresh air heat in this 62 bus.  Fresh air heat did not come out on the Type I 
till into the 63 model year (i.e., early 63s still had stale air heat).  So is 
fresh air heat correct for a 62 Type II?  I think not but am still researching 
for a correct answer.     Here is the ad:
