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.

True, or maybe not.  It may become part of someone's collection and just sit.

I love these kinds of discussions.

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.

I personally would be more surprised that there is some (hopefully) naive 
misrepresentation, and that these incorrect examples somehow were not placed on 
this particular Bus by VW.  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?

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?
