Only the gods have that. I wish it was mine. Its a friends of mine I used to hang out with a while back. Its only the teeny tiny tip of the iceberg. Probably 9 years ago he had 45 or more cars, some very very rare. Has at least one '43 KDF car right now that I know of, havent hung with him for a while, hoping to meet up with him soon. We keep in touch everynow and then by email.

That's a very nice collection! 45 cars or more... All of them were VWs or did he had others?

I wouldnt doubt if he's doubled in size of his collection, but dont realy know. Its at least a safe investment. Has some Porsches, Pre A's and such, some german military equipment, that trailer is for a Kettenkrad which is in front of the trailer, and a few other misc German cars. On top of accessorys, and Nos parts. One of the coolest things I saw were the NOS Hebmuler badges, not repro, or the 2 oval era Okrassas still in the boxes. I have tons of pics, on old computer discs that I cant do nothing with.

I dont ask if he will sell stuff, sorry, he is in it to collect, not the money. I did score the Judson I had off of him, but he asked me if I wanted it. Sorry. They are were they belong, they will sit on a shelf for a long long time just like they have. Besides I wouldnt want to know the price.

He did share a hanger with Milo High, among other people, that was used as a Museum. I almost got to fly in Milo's Stearman bi-plane, but times didnt work out. Milo High was Elvis Presley's pilot.  |

Notice the cog wheel stamp, if you cant see it, it is a blueprint of a carb. Who has that shite? It goes deep, he even has KDF era work benches! Porsche parts shelfs, lots of them! I want to go hang out so bad again. I used to drive what ever I wanted, but left the super early stuff to him, did go to town to get ice in his barnd door.

Thats ok if you don't ask. The reason I ask if you can is because I'm interested in buying one. Everytime thee is one okrasa for sale always someone bits me to it.
That's a nice blue print. Is it dated? if so what year?

Yeah sorry, no disrespect to you, I just dont cause Ive done it and he doesnt like to sell, creates a small air of uncomfortableness. I cant see a date on that one, but this one looks like 3/ /43, and 7/ /44. Notice the VW symbol on that one! War time baby!
