If you have one I would sure like to see a picture of it.
Back in the 70s and 80s I was so into VWs I was known as Mr. Bug. I owned a VW parts business called the "Bugghouse." Owned over 1000 VWs over the years, parted out most of them, even had three split-windows at on time.
Alas, the only thing left is an over 3000 item VW model and memoribilia collection. No room to display it, all packed in boxes.

Hello
I just came across your question from years ago. Are you still interested in a little information on Poco the Oil Drop? I didn't want to bother you with a phone call.

This car was 'restored' on one of the restoration TV shows last season - but I can't remember which one. Maybe 'Restoration Garage'
