Title: German Army Tandem Axle Beetle, Type 34D
Description: Car is of early 50's vintage and brought to the US by ex-German Army officer, passed away 10 yrs ago. Surviving family knows little of the origins of the car. Some period documentation including technical drawings and weaponry. Also some leather strapping and holster like accessories found inside of car. Floor is covered with wood slats over the metal.

There is a small manual (apparently) for the car in German. Water stained, some minor tears but readable. No pictures. Cover reads, "Steng geheim, kopieren strafbar!! Dies ist der neue Prototy fuer die Deutche Bundeswehr". Don't know what that means.

ID plate under hood reads "081153- Prototy fuer die Deutche Bundeswehr; Lirpa Sloof". Some rough body work was started some time in the late 60s; some primer patched areas but no apparent rust.

Car must be removed from estate property. Engine and drivetrain are complete but not sure of running condition. Best offer over $800.

That's genuine, 100% bogus. The "centre wheel" is a poorly disguised copy of the rear. It looks larger 'cos the slots have been "filled".
