Hey gang while surfing craigslist I came across a complete VPC AC system for a 914. I plan to add AC to my 74 2.0 project when the time comes (not this year) so what is the going rate for a complete system?
I know about the power drain on the motor and blah blah blah....... The car is going to be a driver as I still have my 70 for AXing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) |

I have bought and sold them for around $200.00. The problem is your buying something that is up to 41 years old. Lots of rust, etc. I would purchase a new system. If you do a search you will find the original manufacturer is now selling them again. AA also sells this new up to date system.

Aside from being new - 3 or more advantages include the new & cheaper R134 Freon used in them, the more efficient rotary compressor for more efficiency in cooling, and the resultant much lower hp loss, etc.

IMHO the DPD was better than VPC, cuz it allowed you to mount the spare inverted over the conical condensor coil housing & not loose any trunk space (VPC was rectangular with the spare on top & the floor board up several inches). Both were designed by the same guy, with the DPD being his 2nd & more improved version. |
