OK, after restoration years ago, I need to sell my always Calfornia, no rust, 1971 1.7 914. Canary Yellow. I took it to the shop after I could not get any gas and spent $1300 on a newer VW fuel pump system and accessories. Fuel fine now but the shop tells me I have very low compression in one side and the valve is not coming up indicating the need for a rebuild. Here is a the perfect 1971 original (even the fixed passenger seat with foot rest) for conversion to a six with a great body and good interior. Lots of pictures available. Pick up in San Diego or I will help you to ship it. This breaks my heart but I just don't have the time or drive to rebuild the engine. If you like doing Type 4's or always wanted to convert to a six a great car or even put another engine in it, here it is. I am not giving it away since I have parts strippers and body seekers bidding on the car. Contact me at fadler@genbio.com for pix and discussion. I have original window sticker, books, CofA, purchase contract, etc. I am the second owner. I also spent over $2 grand on it just a few months ago to replace the rear axles, starter, and flush the brakes.

Looks like a nice car. Please note that forum rules require that you post a price. I'm semi-interested as I have a motor just waiting to pop in a sweet ride. Let us all know what you're thinking price wise.

Sorry did not know. The shop has a European parts outfit coming in to give me a quote. It is in San Diego. Price required..................what can I get? I have receipts from last year pushing $4. Rollers seem to be all over the place. I will entertain any reasonable offer.

I'll move this to the correct forum. Good luck with the sale.

So you spent $4 on it?
you should take a few shots of the problem areas, hell hole, suspension mounts ect. Sounds like the starting price is $4k? It looks like a great car....

You might want to get a second opinion on your engine troubles, looks like a super clean car.
