New 411 2 Door Wagon Owner

Dunbar · Posted: Sun Jan 12, 2014 2:36 pm Post subject: New 411 2 Door Wagon Owner

I've owned vintage VW's and Porsche's (60's-early 70's) for many years but have never owned a 411. I picked up one that was posted on TheSamba at the end of last year. It's in great shape, original condition, and rust free. I assume because they are so rare, it does not seem to be easy to find accessories for them. I am looking for a roof rack but cannot find a resource. It appears as if it was an original option. Any suggestions?
I uploaded some pics but they went to the gallery instead of on this post....newby, I guess.

There is a roof rack thread right under this this right now... that has some info.

Darn. I'm wishing I had more roof racks now.

That was a pretty clean 411 to pick up, only a few dings and creases here and there from what I remember of the ad. Great buy! You're correct, not many accessories to be had for these without much searching and patience. Keep looking and things turn up.

Good luck trying to flip that for 2X the original Samba asking price. Rolling Eyes

Thought we had a new Type 4 convert, not some #$@! curber.

I see from his Craigslist ad he says he bought it for his son, who doesn't share his affection for old VWs. I hope it does find a nice home, it's a fine looking car.

"This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available."

Twelve offers from three different people. No amounts listed. All declined. Some offers were within seconds of each other.

If there's a new owner, maybe he (or she) will show up here.
