Hey, have you seen my 67 survivor car? 1 owner, 27,000 miles. The old man put
plastic bubble wrap seat covers on all the seats when new; also on the floor
boards and the sun visors; then never ever cleaned the interior of the car.
When I got it the first thing I did was remove all of the bubble wrap plastic
and start cleaning. It was like a time warp. The entire interior looks like
it just rolled off the showroom floor.

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?

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?
