Vw kind typ82 82 Kubelwagen 1945
SOLD Being VW Guy I've always dreamed of owning one of these and I'm not the only This is truly one of the rarest and most desirable vintage VWs the Schwimmwagen.
This is the crown jewel of any collection VW real Schwimmwagen early 1943 in a fully restored condition Certainly one of the finest on the market today.
25 Engine horse is completely rebuilt and works well Block dates to 1949, but the owner has access to a good 1943 engine block can be negotiable in the sale.
Hull is excellent, no signs of rust or damage it was a top floor, every nut and bolt restaurant.
Correct large wheels and bold military tires in Europe, it seems common for these cars have wheels and mounted thinner tires, but I think fat is the way forward and are more correct they also offer better flotation than lean.
The pair of guns and of course the massive machine gun are incredible happiness of the crowd, we had this vehicle exhibited in our booth to the classic VW and the response has been phenomenal.
The machine gun is good time, but he was saying armed.
Top is an excellent small rear window flap can be opened.
Wood steps handful next to the shift lever is the locking handle behind the gear lever is to go from two wheel drive to four-wheel drive or engage the PTO shaft to run the propeller.
The only real flaw I noticed was the horn button missing A cap was fashioned to cover this, so now it looks much better, but Thr good horn thrust must come from the cannisters on eaither side of this photo are ammunition boxes for the machine gun towers No. Anyy of them, but they have fresh air.
Exhaust mounted height also holds the stem used to increase or decrease the propeller inside the car.
Tag Body This is a reproduction plate, but the information is correct and the numbers are verified to be good for the car.
The car was fully restored from the ground work has been done several years ago by professionals, the car was driven miles test only, never in the water, but apparently swim worthy and is filed in a private collection until now.
I'm the first to admit that my knowledge of Schwimmwagens is quite light, but I have a fair bit of research material to pour through and based on what I'm seeing this one looks very nice Its interesting fact in the darker color, most seem to be in the desert tan or camouflage system.
Nice details shovels and oars and warning letters.
Proper wheel early with the little horn button, I see the dimpled shift knob and wood steps Horn push currently lacks see photos above.
Models and labels Shift of operating instructions on the dashboard.
The seats are stitched in what seems to be the right model.
What a great little equipment is that I can not wait to see the detailed photos and share with you all I refresh my knowledge Schwimmer too so I can educate some M-44 machine gun is genuine and is included in the sale as two good K-98 Rifles to fall behind the front seats a note retail rowing wood on the side was re-finished in a dark wood finish to match the shovel Nothing was left at random on the restoration.
The engine of the car is not the original, it is a unit a little later, but it is well equipped Mechanically, the car has been completely rebuilt and is operational.
The engine is in the car is a 25 horsepower engine with a late 40s-early 50s car owner has located an engine block KDF 1943 original that can be negotiated for the car.
Note D controller and upper distributor plate the fuel pump at the beginning and this car has been restored by a respected member of the community and VW Vintage was made.
