Did they ever sell these ones in the US, or did they only do that with the type IIs?

there are a few people who brought them over and paid the chicken tax, but not officially. Typ 1 and 2 were imported for sure though

Maybe if I were a Bilstein rep...

Also, goddammit, you have now driven me to have several different tabs open from Autoscout & Mobile.de. This is the kind of thing I usually do under cloak of darkness, late at night, away from prying eyes. Now, I'm brazenly doing it in the open at work. Dammit.

Oh that's right! When's the switch?

Early April if I can find a replacement for myself here!

Nice. Good luck with that, I mean it can't be too hard to find a Mainah who drinks lots of beer & dicks around on the internet all day, right? Hell, I do that. The Pug fetish might be hard to duplicate though. ;)

Nope. These single and double cab VW bus trucks were not imported to the US because of the Chicken Tax.

Canada got them, and I think a few snuck in before the Tax went into effect in 1963. They are all over 25 years old now, so they're save to bring in. They're much more expensive than your normal split/bay/vanagon bus.

My dad said his parents had a T1 transporter, he learned to drive on it... I'm pretty sure he'd love to get one for himself now if he ever found one around here for the right price

the right price is the hard part, especially for a splitty. My last transporter was an early bay double cab I bought for $600 and drove home about 100 miles. Never see prices like that again

wow... yeah for a price like that I'm sure he'd already have one or two.

now it is adding zeros onto that, and not just one

Slight thread jack, but come on. Almost perfect insanely low mileage (55k km, 34k miles) brown on brown 1982 Polo on Ebay Germany. €838 with reserve not met, but BIN at €1800 so the reserve is probably somewhere between €1000-1500 or so. Hamburg. Recent inspection, so probably ready to drive as is. This will fit in a container together with a w124 wagon just fine.

Also on Ebay: 1990 Golf 2 Country . I also liked this very base/beige Peugeot 205 that's at €2.50 with a BIN of €500.

you got me thinking dirty thoughts now Rob

You and me both. And, to be honest, I was somewhat serious about the Polo. It's even the 'luxury' GL, so it doesn't have the 40 hp engine. I think it looks glorious with that paint and that interior. Had Brad be into exporting nowadays I might've taken the gamble, especially with the low Euro price nowadays. €1800 = $1900.

it would be a great city runner for sure. Reminds me of my base Passat CL diesel wagon I brought over
