The front wheel arches look a lot higher, have these been modified or is it just the angle the photo has been taken?

It looks original to Me....
Many have had rust repairs done...
and they just cut away the rusted bits.....
its looks great....
those seats will feel much better than originals...
as the originals were very basic....
same as the steering wheel....
plenty of ground clearance at the front....
What did You do for a muffler?
do the outlets come thru the two holes?
VW supposedly made these as cheap as they could to keep the price low... but they put a non beetle steering wheel and muffler... which seems strange
to Me...
anyway, a very rare Volkswagen....
Good to see a few are getting back on the road...
and a different colour... as someone noted...

yeah, mine too...
68, the steering wheel was a Kombi one (I think - maybe a pre-Oval Beetle) and the muffler was also VW - old cylindrical ones from the 50s, but two of
them mated one to each set of two cylinders

checked the front guards out and the inner lip is all original i think the reason for the great clearence height is because its running front coil
over shocks .

no probs byronbus i can understand the interest because of the wheel well height on this cb . ive looked at steves pink cb and a few others including
the other complete country buggy i have here and i can see a difference . ive checked underneath examined the panel lip and frabrication and its all
standard . maybe i have a one off , im stoked in the clearence this countrybuggy has and with the coil overs hold the front up really well . on level
ground the buggy sits level to the ground citing difference from front of the sill to the rear .regards jeff

huh?
wats everyone going on about now?
anywho...
jewfish are great, grandpa has some funny stories, about catching huge ones, leaving it in the bath tub in the bath room, grandma walking in to this
huge fish... u get hte picture.
anywho, were there ever different series to these country buggies? Different features or styles u could purchase (just like a how a bug can have
standard or delux)? Maybe ones an import? if they were anywhere else. There are country buggy replica kits made of metal, maybe that perhaps?
if both original, then there must be different models to the buggies.
