Do you think that guy who spent 5mil on the Cobra will drive it? Anybody remember plastic slip covers? My grandma had them on the couch in the living room just to make 200 bucks last forever. I always hated sitting on it because I'd slip off. Same thing here, put it in a collection and maybe it'll appreciate.

It may become part of someone's collection and just sit.

It is always interesting to find people who sweat what someone else has. ;-) Just drive it and enjoy it. It's hard enough nowadays to find an early bus that hasn't been exported or rustier than crap, or the wheel aprons cut for Jackmans. Yeah, lots of questionables but whoever buys it will enjoy it.

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

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? Peter Albarian <pcalbar@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: That rear hatch should only be on a '61-'63 model from what I know. If 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.
