Aircooled VW South Africa

I have aquired a 1968 Fasty which is 95% complete but in pieces c/w motor, have papers for motor and vehicle.
Now the question is do I sell as complete or sell off as parts
What would the asking price be
I would like to build it up but I have way to much on my plate as it is

Sell every thing else, but build up the Fastback....

The most scares car VW ever made,

The most comfortable car VW ever made,

The best looking car VW ever made,

The fastest aircooled VW ever made.....

Just what I have heard, not favoring Fastback in any way......

It isn't true, either way. The 411s and 412s were faster, even the T34 was faster (fastest Type 3) and more scarce were the T34 and the Notch. The new VWs are a lot more comfortable, especially those with 4 doors, and the fast back is only prettier than the T34 and even that's debatable, which is almost the ugliest VW ever built. And this is as as your post.

Well then that settles tha, I am still none the wiser.

What type 3 engine came out with twin carbs and fuel inj

Why sell a car for spares if it has papers....assemble it and sell it again. Another one on the road.

1961 VW1500 single 32mm Solex PHN side draught
1963 VW1500S twin 32mm Solex PDSIT down draughts
1966 VW1600 same carbs
1968 VW1600TE & LE Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection.

Thanks RG
The info on the papers for the engine says 1974 Station wagon
Could it be a 1700cc
Vehicle papers say 1968 Variant

Well, production ended in 1973, so it might be a T4 engine. And if it's a Fastback, it can't be a Variant, that would be a Squareback.

The engine is not from the same vehicle
The papers for the engine say Volkswagen Variant Station Wagon 1974-01-01
The papers for the vehicle say Voklswagen Variant Sedan 1968-01-01
But then we all know that what the papers say is not neccessary always correct

Me thinks you have a type 4 engine in it, if that is the case, you have the holy grail of combinations, so definitely fix it, make it good, and only if you have to.... .. sell it.
Looks like the last guy that registered the car was a true VW buff.....

Herman

Thanks guys
Just waiting to hear what the procces (shlep) will be re the paper work.
Both the papers indicate that last fees recieved was 2009so if all ok then will not be to bad in backdated license fees

RG why GRRRRR

Ron hates it when people call the T4 a variant

No, no, that's OK, as long as it's a 411 or 412 station wagon.

I hate it when they call a T3 a Variant... because only 1 out of 4 type 3 models is a Variant.
