I've stood next to that car at a Bug Run. Under the hood is air tanks and valves for the bags. I seem to recall a bamboo interior.

Earlier in this century (memory fail) I passed through Rickreall, OR and there was a 412 wagon in red-orange alongside the road for sale for $850. I was driving a Squareback at the time and it looked like a good upgrade, but the guy was gone to lunch so I proceeded home and called when I got there. It sold in that hour.

On the blue one everyone likes, the body sides are good, the mix of Beetle taillights and Type II engine lid are good, but the lift gate looks unfinished. I prefer the plan taper of the BGW fiberglass van conversion.
