My local Porsche mechanic has one of these and was wondering how rare they are. Since he wants to sell it, I posted an ad in the non-914 classified.

I am also visiting VW events in Europe and we begin to see them more. They were never sold here....so not a lot of them around which makes them special and that explains the high price.

I was in the Phillippines in 1976 and saw quite a few over there. They were really pretty nice but I never got to drive one. Seemed to be a bit more modern looking than the 411 and 412, thoughtheyhad type 3 engines if I recall correctly.
I'd imagine parts would be near to impossible to get unless you have a contact in Brazil. Correction- it was a type 1 engine, not type 3. |

I like it, looks alot like 411/412, so it should have a type 4 engine! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I'd be willing to bet there's enough cross over VW parts to keep it going. It would take a real VW enthusiast to bring the asking price. I'm not saying it's not worth it though. |

The Type 3 engine is a standard type one with suitcase style fan shrouding much like the T4.
Hot set-up on a T3 is to install a T4 engine, I've done several. Cool looking car, one of our local VW club members has one. |

Saw one at local car show last month. Guy claims less than 15 of them in the US.
Guy got all pissy with me when i mentioned to my daughters that their grandmother had a VW that looked similar. |

I am sure with that front end, you can do a 6 (prop-blade) conversion that puts an outdrive and prop on the transom and then you can hit the harbor for a cruise.
Our local drunk beach chicks will love that ugly thing if the pretty half is submerged........ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) |
