Great thread...keep the pictures coming!
I just pulled this October-43 Kubelwagen from this backyard. It was taken off the road in 1962, stored in a barn until 1992, then under this tarp in the garden of the son of the original owner until I bought it one month ago. All matching numbers, very original car - cog wheel logo all over it - even the engine bits. Will be fixed mechanically and driven as is - battlescars included.. [ATTACH]1669[/Attach]

Lovely patina there on Diamond green? :D
Posted by: my03yellowv - 07 June 2008 00:18:43
its actually not Diamond Green under the green is the original Ultramaroon color with red interior wierd mix ...its a May 1955 oval and according to the charts that color wasn't an option then but others have the same color combo out there so it exsists.
