Hi Jim <BR>
Yes this is the Muffler I have but it is the Early pre 66 single carb style. with built in pre heaters. (Rare Bird). Should send pics in for the Rarest of the Rare for Hot VWs. I usually have 1 or 2 of the items shown in the magazine every year. I just dont have anything connected since the stock post 66 Muffler has a different Tin and ducting, Im using most all the Tin and Shroud from a 67 to run 12V and stock dual carbs. Ive got to cut and modify the ducting to make it fit. Easy as change the angle of the curved elbow and weld back into place. When I have time I have to do that. I probably have a weekend open in December 2010. I added a picture of the car. Dont seem to know where the pics of the back end are. Ive got pics of John Jaransons car Following a Vanagon on a fall color tour in 04. I dont even think John has seen this picture. Ive got another of his car zipping down a country lane. <BR>
All in Good fun. <BR>
