1975 VW Typ 81 Kübelwagen – A Piece of History from the Austrian Government and the World of Extreme Sports
This extraordinary 1975 VW Typ 81 Kübelwagen is a historic vehicle with a unique provenance. Delivered on August 18, 1975, directly to the Federal Ministry of the Interior in Vienna, it was in government service until 1983, at which point it had only about 20,000 km on the clock.
In 1983, the renowned Kitzbühel Red Bull extreme athlete and talented glassblower Joseph Salvenmoser purchased the Kübelwagen. Salvenmoser used it as his daily driver, particularly for his commute to Munich during his internships. After one year, he handed the car over to his girlfriend, who kept it and regularly drove it until 2022. The mileage increased to under 50,000 km before the car was sold to the current owner.
Since then, the current owner has driven the Kübelwagen throughout the Salzburg region, using it to travel from lake to lake – the perfect vehicle for adventure and enjoying nature. The car is not only a reliable classic but also a true collector's item with a rich history that connects it to the Austrian government and the world of extreme sports.
The condition of the vehicle is exceptional, and it has been well-maintained throughout its life. With only a few kilometers on the clock and its impressive history, this 1975 VW Typ 81 Kübelwagen is a true highlight for collectors and automotive history enthusiasts. A unique car that will make a special addition to any collection.
