Stunning wagon on ebay
I know this isn't a diesel, but I think many might find this car pretty interesting. Look at the seller. I bet he (they) have some nice cars in their collection! I think the rear compartment alone is worth the price of the car.

Oh yeah, I saw that too. Very cool car!
I saw some of those custom mad wagons when I was a teenager, because I lived overseas with my parents. Mostly 114s and 116s. When I was 15 one of our neighbors in Iran had a gold 450SEL wagon. I cant say I particularly liked it, but it sure was interesting. I also saw a 1977 or 78 123 wagon that was custom made, at a trade show in 1978. I got very excited when I heard that Mercedes was going to build one and import it to the United states. Located in Bellingham, did yuh notice? Last edited by Brandon_SLC; 10-01-2006 at 10:00 PM.

It looks like its built to haul 20 tons of material. It sure does look like the underside of a very heavy duty truck. Yeesh.

It's pretty darn impressive how they came up with a practical independent rear suspension in the 60's.

Yeah most cars in the 60's had leaf springs in the back. Like my dads 64 stangs....shoot a 05 corvette even has leaf springs....thats why i dont consider it a sports car. More like a GM pile of crap with a V8.

Is IRS that impressive to youall?
VW put it in cars in the late 1960's-- along with electronic fuel-injection. This one hasn't got that The wagon is an impressive sight! That cargo floor is a thing of beauty!

There is a yellow version of one of those in a 007 Bond movie, I think it's "From Russia with Love".
The seller is a hard core enthusiast, he sells alot of rare parts on eBay also. The wagon is a thing a beauty, just the thing to tow a vintage British sports car to a SCCA race. I'm just dreaming, but if I won the lottery...... |

Not many of those around
I'd sure hate to try and source a replacement taillight for it!
Who made them, Binz?

Ah, a fellow air cooled VW enthusiast! People around here would flip if they saw a "european" Karman Ghia, or a 1964 type 3 notchback. or how about a 21 window micro-bus with a full sunroof? Makes me drool....
