Nearby I have found a Type 3 motor up for sale (carbureted) and am thinking about picking it up and playing with it...obviously would need to do something about that terrible single carb sticking up...
My question is...how complete does this look? :) AND what would you say's it worth is?

missing everything and spray painted silver everything. $25?
it is a single port, so I guess value would be based on the case number, and if any of the internals are usable |

"It's a 'Rebuilt Motor'"!

Step 1.
Take junk core motor and cover in spray-paint.
Step 2.
Take beetle carb and manifold and set on top of motor.
Step 3.
Ask $500 for it.
Rather than show pics of the motor,
Can you get a picture on the guy selling it?
That would be something to see..
Maybe see if he is willing to pose with it?
Bet you he has more tattoos than teeth!
The accumulation of deleterious genes into the population is inevitable,
Now that we live in the absence of selective forces. |

Yes, there are people stupid enough to give $500 for that motor.
However,
They aren't smart enough to actually have $500 to spend!
:wink: |
