This is a Engine Thermostat pulled from a 1959 VW Beetle. The engine was pulled back in the late 1980's and stored. When the engine was pulled, the car had 59K original miles. The engine was all original. Please check compatibility if this fits years and makes other than 1959 VW Beetle.
NOTE: I was not the original owner of the VW Beetle so I cannot confirm if this is the original thermostat when the bug was purchased new. |
