WOW - you sure don't see many of those up for sale!!! nice piece of military and VW history!

MONTGOMERY used to drive one! LOL!

i have a 3 foot toy model of this at home. found it new in box at some antique store. picked it up for 25 bucks.

in that case, I want what Patton drove...

No you don't randy General George S Patton Car Accident Crash Pictures

Ebay won't let me save pics of that beautiful thing. Imagine someone buying it but not being able to prove "not as advertised".

Thx, you da man. (I can't get prntscreen to work either).

I'd love to have that. Could cut my morning commute in half!

I took a couple photos of the one at the Littlefield collection last year:

Cool vehicle.

Is he open to any trades????

Not trying to hijack this thread, (thanks to the OP for sharing)

However, I just got sucked into looking at a whole bunch of immaculate armament at the Littlefield collection. I'm not sure if I should thank you or not, it's late and I need to get up early :)

BUT - it's obvious that it's not for lack of effort at the nazi engineering department that they lost that war. For instance - This is a jack mounted to the fender of something heavy:

I mean, look at the engineering detail in the jack and it's companion wood block (steel reinforced!) and then check out the way it all mounts to the fender! Unreal.:eek:

I stood beside one of these on Friday in a small museum near Bastogne. Had no idea that they were so expensive.

One of our friends who lives close to Pfaffenhausen has these vehicles, among them a very nice schwimmwagen. He took it to a get-together last year, and they had close to 30 amphib. vehicles there.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1266796300.jpg
