Nostalgia pure, rare parts for sale!
Last US trip I was able to score some real cool nostalgia items what I like to offer for sale here…
Treuhaft valve covers… absolute NOS, the real deal, cool on display, cool on your engine… the real deal!
Or what about a Oil Thermostat with 3/8 entries in an ubercool Treuhaft skinpack?
And finally I couldn’t resist to bring this, not for the part, but mostly for the packaging, a vintage Hood tie down kit in all original Auto Haus packaging….
Interested in any of these parts? They’re not that expansive, just cool have to have things and perfect for display… just send me an email on Bob@BBT4VW.com
For sale; 1952 “untouched” split window beetle, straight from the barns….
Who imagined to find such a split in 2014? Crazy but we did again!
We thought all barns where empty, but this was a barn survivor! Well hidden away!
4 16 inch wheels, original (painted logo) hubcaps do come along in front trunk. all original fenders, aprons, doors You name it!
Never ever replaced taillights, this was even a cool find 15 years ago!
Inside is a real cool and virgin dash… but over the years they swapped the interior with a later one (except for the back of the backseat) that’s one of the only negatives to this car…
25HP engine, with a seemed fan shroud, not matching numbers but made in Dec 53 while the car it selves is from May 1952.
Unmolested original closed H rear apron still on the car since new, yammie!
This we can call “cream”! Original grooved semaphores still in the original semaphore holes!
Nice view under the front trunk… yes that the original hubcaps! Some clips are broken on the wheels, so we prefer to keep the hubcaps at a safe place…
Plain VW logo on the hood, most of the moldings are still grooved (some replaced a real long time ago)… but pay also attention to the all original front window trim!
Yes, we do love original virgin dash pods! Especially when they do come with their original Huff ignition keys!
Both original headlights with VW logo on top are still with the car, more then likely since new… round horn grills mean original split window fenders, more then likely also since new…
A real Time Wrap, that’s all we can say, this was the quality of splits we brought to the open market 15 years ago, but to find a unknown car in 2014 in this condition is something that make us quiet! very quiet!
We worked over two years to seal the deal, and are proud the car arrived last week in our warehouse…

A new production of SO34 Westfalia upholstery
I hope all BBT Blog readers are as interested as I am in production processes,
I was very happy I could see part of the weaving of a new production upholstery material for SO34 Westfalia. I’m even more happy I can share these pictures with you, its pretty impressive,
For those who don’t know, we let weave the 4 styles early Westfalia fabrics in a period correct way to create same feel, style and looks like back in the day. No compromise!
We’re still looking for a decent sample of early Westfalia curtains, (the yellow one with that special ribble in it) (NOS or as close as we can get) to make a perfect reproduction in period materials and weaving Technics as well.
Enjoy the pictures, and look for the end result!
coloring teh materials is a process on its own…
spools enough?
this is pure experience, not for the faint at hearted!
first weaving process finished
ready to start to real production now….
in the second and final step the square treats are weaved in , the material is coming from above, imagine this goes ate a relatively high speed!
set up is everything….
more spools….
wowh!
now how impressive is this?
all information about the weaving process, inquiries, or information about our Westfalia fabrics can be get on Bob@BBT4VW.com
New in our NOS dept. NOS rear valence for late beetle…
In our race to reproduce the rear valence of the 1968-1974 beetle in a decent quality we came around this little stash of NOS ones, made by VW in Mexico in the seventies, this is the only one that really fit on the market at this moment whatever money can buy….
This fits, this is Original Volkswagen, so no questions to ask….
Part nrs written loooong time ago….
1978….. that’s how old these are, and when they came in stock in the wholesale dept we bought it from….
A little stash, nicely packed… We used some to create a serious reproduction, but that is in research and tooling dept now, will take another 6 to 12 months to complete…
Are you ready to get a real NOS rear valence? just email me on Bob@BBT4VW.com
