Willyslancs Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 http://www.ebay.de/itm/VW-Schwimmwagen-Typ-166-KDF-Wanne-/200645502128?pt=Automobile&hash=item2eb76764b0 wonder what it will go for in the end ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormin Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Seems to be a good deal of it missing. i'm assuming it's original then and rot removed as I can't read German. Has enough metal been left in to be able to get it straight and square when repairing? Would it still be "original" once repaired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hmm, he doesn't say its original. He does speak of the possibility to get repro parts for the missing sheetmetal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoranWC51 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 It seems to be remnants of an original "Schwimmer" that the seller has started to restore. The ad states that new sides need to be constructed and that other metal parts (repros) are available. Its just the body, no frame, so buyer has to find a original or other frame to register it. I am sure its worth the money for someone that has the knwoledge, tima and money to restore it back to its original condition. WW2 German vehicles, especially Schwimmwagens are getting worth tons of money. I doubt an incomplete "Schwimmer" like this wouldn't have sold for very much a few years ago. Hope it sells to someone who'll restore it... Goran N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchinuk Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Not original, but probably cheaper, http://www.kooblekar.com/schwimmwagen jh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpowder44 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Schwimmwagens do not have a "frame" (chassis) the body tub is in its self the frame. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
