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.

By the way, just few months ago the rear end disconnected so needed new axles from donors and replaced starter and flushed the brakes. That was another $2 grand out. |

So you spent $4 on it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
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.
