just bought another one.. $150, its in pretty good shape. only one dent(pass. rear fender) from what i noticed when i looked at it earlier(it was dark out). it looks to be near complete other than no engine or transmission, but ive got those in the shed. no title either, but ive been through it before with my 73 bus... needless to say, i'm pretty stoked. ill have pics on sunday when i bring her home.

edit: these are the pictures off craigslist

What the hell is that.

So many freebees. A typewriter, sun shades. Wait until you remove the back seat and door panels. I bet you are going to find at least 50 cents in there.

i've got an extra 1600 motor that i could use for it.. im going to try to get the title situation figured out first, and then put an engine/tranny in it and use this one for a 'show' vehicle or something.. not totally sure on the plans though.

If I had a nickel for every Volkswagen I bought that had a typewriter in it.....
