We're getting our first Schwimmwagen body shell in January 2010.
Ever since introducing the Kooble T-82R Kubelwagen 14 years ago we have been asked about when we were going to manufacture the T-166 Schwimmwagen. We'll be producing them in early 2010.
Yes the tub is extra heavy duty hand laid fiberglass with a sturdy steel backbone for mounting the engine and suspension components. No rust problem here.

He also informed me that YES! it will Schwim! This first version will be four wheel drive, and will be equipped with a working propeller. Pricing will be dependent on how well things go with this first one but considering everything that goes into a project like this it should be reasonable. Congrats to Denis, Steven and the rest of the team at KoobleKars for taking on such an adventurous project.

That's very cool!

I've been wondering when someone would build a fibreglass schwimmer replica.

Would LOVE one. A true go anywhere vehicle with character

That is cool! I can just picture cruisin around Hartebeespoort Dam in one of those, with an SS flag fluttering away at the back and all passengers wearing tin helmets...

The tin helmets would help protect you from the locals throwing you with rocks because of the SS flags!!!

Hey it's historically correct okay!

This would be a LOVELY project. But considering the 'need' you are probably too late to place your order!!! Wonder what the price would be? Anyone know what the price is on one of their Koobles?
