1971- the best year for The Bus- you know, Type I 1600cc engine, power assisted brakes. I just brought it down from Washington, it runs fine but needs to pass CA smog. I had modified parts on it (centrifigal advance distributor, 2 BBL carb, smoother intake manifold) but The Man (State of California) says I need all orig equipment- who cares if it is more efficient with that other stuff on? Well, I tracked down the original parts, except for the air cleaner, put it on, but haven't bothered with the smog certificate or registration yet since I am now selling anyway. The rebuild on this motor was approx. 25,000 miles ago by a VW mechanic in Wasington I bought it from. It was put back together very tight- oil leaks almost non-existent. Has temp and tach gages on the dash. Needs: clutch throwout bearing and clutch adjustement. Horn doesn't work. Appearance: Fairly ugly with a mish mash of paints and primer on the outside and some rust. No award winner there. No serious body smashes. Has Washington title. Email me if you're interested.
