I found some great pics today of an original Kubelwagen (or Kuebel-Wagen as the museum writes) at the Heartland Museum of Military Vehicles in Lexington Nebraska.
This Kubelwagen is a Type 82, and was built in November of 1944 for the German Army. It had a 69 cubic inch engine, with a whopping 25hp.
I don’t think it would win any races.
But it is pretty sweet looking. It is slightly different than the more modern Thing, but still has some differences. The biggest difference to see is the front end, the Kubelwagen is much more sloped than the Thing.

me parece increible que todavia hallan estos carros tan interesantes como el kubelwagen 82 llamado en sudamerica el safari volkswagen o jeep jardinera.
Este carro lo tengo desde hace 33 años y lo compre en sucres ( 26.000 ) lo que es en dolares americanos 1.20.
Este carro me ha servido en todo momento.
me gustaria adquirirlo o que me envien el historial mas detallado del carro o donde encontrar repuestos ya que me falta el motor del limpia parabrisas.
