1944 KDF Type 82e Re-creation
This was a personal project for us here at Oldbug for a while.
The restoration was started by a fellow up in the San Jose area and we picked it up and completed the job.
It was sold a few months back to a gentleman from south Orange County who has used it in wartime re-inactments
but needs to sell it to free up garage space for his genuine Kubelwagen...must be tough.
In any case it was a ground up restoration, done to a pretty nice level but perhaps not concours.
It was built for fun and fun it most definitely is.
The wheels are genuine items from a Schwimmwagen sourced in Germany.
Wherever possible early split window era parts were used in the creation of the car.
The look is very convincing and only the most hardcore VW guru can spot the differences.
I have a whole ton of super detailed photos that I have taken of the car showing all the details
but I shot them on a very high resolution so they are too large to post as they are.
