Question about buying a Type 3

Post by splduck »

Well this is my 1st of many posts I hope. I have been a huge VDub fan for a long time now and just now have the chance to pick up one. Im about to buy a early 70's FB. The engine does not run and the owner does not know why. The body is real solid minus a few dents and no visable rust.

Im curious what do i need to look for before I buy it. (engine, body, ect...)
Also curious what would you do 1st to start trouble shooting the engine.

Sorry if this is real vague but I dont know a ton about type 3's other then I love there looks.


Thanks for any help you guys can do for me

completeness is the key.. interior add ons etc all add up quick as many things are not in production.
