I drove the same year (with the Big Rhombus) Combi for a decade as my main car. Alas, I sold it to a good mechanic who only drove it across the creeks on Sunday until the wheels froze. I'd love to see some pictures of yours and seriously considering.
Thanks much.

Oh, would you consider a trade with a '64 Beetle in running condition, mostly straight ? I can sell this to afford yours in not
