Good Find During Restoration

« on: July 09, 2006, 09:51:28 PM »
I was disecting the interior of my 80 Vanagon today and under the floor (don't ask me how it got there) I found all of the original literature that came with the van when my grandfather bought it...

Here's what was there:

    Vinyl VW Wallet
    Original Owners Manual
    Camper Manual
    Original Warranty and Service Check Book
    Original Sales Slip
    Dealer Warranty Sheet
    First year Registration
    First Year Insurance Paper
    A Call For Help Window Insert with Milage Check List
    Spare Key
    Dealership Business Card / Brochure
    North and Central America VW Dealership Directory (Book)


I thought this was a sweet find!

It sure does sound like a sweet find!  

When I bought my '78 Bus, along with it came the window sticker, the warranty booklet, service coupons and maintenance interval book (with date stamps), owner's manual, North and Central America VW Dealership Directory, and a card that looks like an ID card (with raised numbers like a credit card).

All of this was in the glove box as opposed to under the carpet. :lol:

Don't question "why" just be glad he did. :D He probably had that feeling that someday it would be found and the finder feel like he'd struck gold which in a way, you did. 8)
