1943 VW Type 82 Kubelwagen goes to auction
1943 VW Type 82 Kubelwagen goes to auction
I'm an auctionzip.com frequent flyer! When we go on vacation (even just camping in a nearby town) I check the local auctions within a 50 mile radius...I saw this was up the same weekend of the Fun Fest VW (funfestacvw.com ) show and knew I would NEVER have the opportunity to bid or even see one of these in person again unless is was at a museum of something of the like, so I just HAD to go...incredible nearly all complete specimen, was only missing a few things that I saw...such an amazing vehicle

Thank you for sharing this awesome piece of volkswagen history. I stooped everything important that i was doing and clicked to watch as fast as i could. BIG THUMBS UP
you could "feel" the presence of this thing when you walked in the room...if that car could talk...wow
@@marcijunebug Really true my own-one, came from Lienz: lowerAsutria/"reunion"-point for WH-Troops, retreating from S.East=Caucasus; and, being released by "VW" on 10-Aug'43 to Kassel (N.E.Germany)=WH main wehicles-Center to "Heere" Troops of Ost-Front: Jiust imagin its "touristic-promenade" by my "Typ82"!....😊
Wow ... you can’t make that up , true survivor .... OG drive train Thanks for sharing
it was amazing how complete it was. there were two boxes in the back seat with parts! and really not much rust at all
Museum piece. Just amazing. Thanks so much for sharing marci. Really appreciated watching. You're last quote at the end of the video gave me chills.
True...was so glad I went. You could just feel the presence of this vehicle...if it could talk...
totally understood!
Wow, that was cool!
you know this car is currently owned by one of the local VW car guys right? He named it Walter and it regularly shows up at local Indiana and surrounding shows. He made it mechanically sound and left everything else like it was! it is AWESOME!
What an awesome price of history! Thank you so much for showing us!
Damn it, watching the auction again, I would have bought that car without blinkning!!!!
I know right!!?? The guy that bought it did an amazing job with it and it has shown up at some local shows. He named it Walter, very fitting I thought...If I can ever manage to get a couple extra hours I want to drive up and do a "this is NOW" video of it running down the road...such a piece of history!
Thanks for sharing this!!!
Wonderful piece of history, thanks for sharing Marci
Great video, thank you for taking us along for the ride.
Wow what an amazing awesome vw! That is so cool! Thanks for sharing Marci!!!👍👍👍
Grandfather of the VW Thing! Thanks for showing this Marcie!!!
Hi Marci, just catching up on your stuff. What a great Kubelwagen. I do not think I've ever seen one before now. Thanks for capturing it!
yes I was SO glad I went to the auction! Like I said a the beginning...likely will NEVER ever have the chance to bid on one ever again!
Awsome vw dub ! , gewd luck Lil buddie :)
That thing could tell some stories. Many of which we wouldn’t want to hear. Still a great piece of history!
Yes, the triumphs and tragedies of war...was an overwhelming feeling
Absolutely amazing!! Thank you for sharing!!
ya think this is a REPRO???????????????????????
no, totally legit..."gear" edged VW stamp on nearly every single part...as legit as it gets
@@marcijunebug so pre 1949 VW dub had this logo even when the Brits took over the plant and made a few cars for test runs? AMAZING!!!!!
yes, early logo...and it was embossed into the metal everywhere...no way a repo would have that, also the rims were each stamped and dated...you can't just buy 5 of those! like I said...amazing specimen and nearly 100% complete! Crazy good condition also...
Man this makes me SO jealous! I've never been to an auction, I think if I did i would come home with another "pile of scrap" 😂
there is a reason I MUST set a limit prior to going in! lol
It's a real Marciwagen !!!
Homero Barbosa I WISH this was mine! Man it was cool! I was so glad I went! I have since found out who owns it and we are now “friends” on fb! Lol I hope to see it at a show or two in the future! If I do I will post a follow up video of it!
Nice kubel wagon , love the vw logo on the speedometer !!
Vw Coco yes it was nearly 100% complete too! I now have met the guy that bought it too which is amazing! He lives about an hour from me!
marcijunebug really !! Nice I’ve got a new purchase arriving in just over a week after my hols which you will def like but no spoilers :)
Vw Coco I’ll be watching for it👍
marcijunebug nice one thank you !!
How exciting I bet it was imported after ww2 probably captured after D day great car fantastic condition
yes and amazingly complete!
@@marcijunebug I think the German ss had a lot of them light fast reliable and cost-effective
What a collector car !!
it's an incredible piece...
@@marcijunebug Dad wanted to ship his ARMY JEEP back to TEXAS but the darn JERRIES SHOT HIM and the JEEP all up so he burnt it with a grenade..................
@@gertraba4484 😥
My grandfather once drove a Kübelwagen and a Schwimmwagen - you probably guess when that was. But those days were no fun. He told me some terrifying stories.
Tunicht Gut I am sure...I shutter to think what this vehicle possibly saw, the stories it could tell would likely bring us to our knees, but very cool that he once drove one...they are incredibly well designed and amazing vehicles!
Marci, Thank you for taking the time to video and share this. The only way that you can determine true value of a vehicle like this is to lay your own eyes on it and witness the bidding yourself. I think that was pretty spot on around 20k, but would have loved to inspect the metal/hand turn that engine to see what one would be up against. Would love to hear your thoughts on restore vs refurbish.
The awesome thing is we likely will get to see this one again! Long story for a comment but short of it is, I know the guy who got it up and running/driving for the guy who bought it and I offered to do the top for free to just have the chance to work on it and see it again! He went with a mechanical restoration and man you should see the thing now! Incredible transformation! It is road worthy and it went to the right guy! Hopefully in the not too distant future I’ll get the chance to see it again!
And yes I felt price was pretty much dead on, was just too salty for my blood! Ha
@@marcijunebug Glad to hear that you know where it landed. Would love to see and hear details on the repairs etc. I enjoy watching your videos. Let's try to keep in touch.
@@ryansclassic2108 yes, fingers crossed I get to work a bit on it! If nothing else I think it will be at some local shows next year and perhaps I can do another walk around of it! Thanks for being here! Catch you on the next one!
Wow just wow. Here where I live that vehicle, not title just a bill of sale and make sure wipers and all the lights work, no emissions.
wow! it is such a cool vehicle and since it came back to Indiana (my home state) I now have tracked down it's new owner so we WILL be seeing it again at some point!
Waoo vw history, from 64vw of nj
was sooooo stinkin amazing to see this in person!
Very nice condition. I would love to restore this!
It’s worth restoring for sure, but pretty amazing just the way it is with all its crust!
NO way, leave it original
View #204 at 7:50 PM on 6/14/19 - NJ ... Awesome!
It really was awesome! Thanks for being here John!
As cool as it is it’s weird to think that it could’ve been in ausvitch
I know right?!!?? It definitely had a presence about it, but it wasn’t evil feeing...just humbling at the things it saw in its life.
marcijunebug yeah
Musta been the worlds slowest auction, he really drew that out. First time I could understand a little of what he said, auctions there in the states are so different than here in Oz. Great piece of history tho.
100Jeanluc haha yes, it was partly slow because they had several folks bidding online, so they were dragging it out to allow those people to bid I think. Very very glad I went and got to see it tho! Interesting twist, the person who bought it has asked me to sew the top and seat covers for him! I’ve very excited about getting to see it again!
@@marcijunebug good to hear. I know you'll do a great job.
in this condition, ca. 45000 EURO in Germany. Paperwork isnt an Problem, send VW Wolfsburg historische Abteilung the id number, they are all listed, so they send you an Paper back with the car identification when build to witch Delevery Point it goes ( 5 avable ) than you can write an Letter to the Kraftfahrt Bundesamt and send in the VW papers so you got an original german title witch you can use in the US. all this costs 200 Euro all together. Greetings from Germany
was such an impressive car! I was so glad I took the time to go to the auction and had the opportunity to say I had bid on a Kubelwagen! The best part is a friend of mine's friend was the one who bought it and the car ended up about 2 hours away from me...and I offered to do the top and seat upholstery for free just to have the opportunity to work on it...and he said YES! so hopefully at some point I will get the chance to film more on this one!
😲😲😲👍👍👍😎😎😎
Adjugé 10500 dollars ???!!!?? C est cadeau 👍
The person that got it certainly got a good deal!
No Notek lights front and rear ?! Rear lights are not at the good place.....last Kubel' from 44 or 45 ! Missing parts I'm sure, from France mates !
the guy that purchased it is from Indiana not to far from where I am, I am planning to get with him at some point and show this vehicle now! It is running and driving and on the road to car shows, events etc and it is AMAZING!
It's actually a Porsche, isn't it? Although VW made as Porsche as a company didn't exist at the time......
Believe they were straight up VW, vw started production before 43, firsts being in late 30’s 37? I believe...all of the engine parts and dash gauges etc are stamped vw with the gear cog stamp so those were vw exclusive that stamp faded after the war to become the circle around the vw emblem as we know it now. I know where this vehicle went and I might be the one rebuilding the top canvas and seats for it so we might get to see it again!
WHAT is that ........................THING????????????????????????????????????????
This was one of the worst examples of the type 82 I’ve every seen. Every panel was rotted and many bad replacement panels had already been fitted. I was at this auction, and advised every one I could not to bid
Have you seen lots and lots of them???? where??? I want to go see them! I LOVE them!!! I think given the rarity of the vehicle in this area of the country/world I gave much of that a pass, but honestly thought it was in relatively decent condition. I didn't see any full "replacement panels" but there were some patches that had been made, and those could have been done a bit better but perhaps they were performed when the vehicle was in service and thus wouldn't have been done at their "finest body shops" while in the field?... I would totally have bought it if I'd had the extra cash...and I have seen it in person now that it is back on the road here in Indiana...and it is EPIC...I doubt I will ever see another one in it's current, running diving and showing up at car shows condition in my lifetime!
20k was a bargain. They’re not making any more of them you know. Proper restoration they are over 100k But for 20k, you could do a make over, wiring, brakes. Take the crash box out, install a modern swing axle and single port.....do a kaki paint job, a new canvas top and some reasonable seat pads.....for a few grand.....and drive it. Save all the old stuff that came out of it. You would easily be able to sell the car and get your $$$ back. Woulda, coulda, shoulda.....I personally don’t have $$$ for this stuff. Still, I didn’t have money for the nice kubles and schwimmers....when you had to read classifieds and they were an astounding 5 k!! Anyway...cool video
Daniel Allen agreed! If it had a title or import papers I think would have easily brought $30,000...it was in incredible condition with only minor rust in pans, and pretty much totally complete (there were two boxes of parts in the back seat and floor boards that you can see in video). I figure $5k in title fees etc and tires and maybe $1-2k more for making it “road worthy” and it’s a driver, wouldn’t do a thing to it! Very very cool vehicle!
I would have bought it for that but I just dont have a place to put it. No title is not an issue if it is old. all you need to do here in CA state that it is older than 75 then they will send you one in the mail. No emissions required on classics. My buddys have gotten stuff from mexico the same way. Just apply for lost title and it is back in the system. Buddy did a barn door bus like that. He put his plates from his 66 on it and drove it across the boarder. then titled it here after no issue.
Not that easy in Indiana...can be done but you have to go to court and post in news paper yadda yadda takes a long time and about $3k (If no one fights you on it) the guy that bought it has done it before and he knows the drill! Glad he got it, because I will be seeing more of it! I’m might even get to build him a top for it! Such a cool truck and totally worth the price!
@@marcijunebug geez I would title it in CA first cost about 150 then transfer it to your state would be easier. and cheaper. OR AZ. not sure on their total policies on that but I dont think it is that hard do an out of state transfer which should be easy then your done.
I think he’s got it all figured out, like I said he’s done it before so he’ll get it, if not there’s an option for him!
