Wow where did you find this? Glad to see you are going to give this car a new life. I have a 71 411 which I have owned since new. WE are lucky to have the world wide guru on Type 4's on this forum. That's Ray Greenwood, and he can answer any question you have, and advise you. The 72 411 has some improvements over the 71 411. I'm looking forward to your work and progress on this car. It looks to me like you have an excellent car to work on. Bob

Post lots of photos! I'm working on a '74 412 that I just found, also - what weird VW's these are.

That looks familiar, I think I may have saw it on Facebook marketplace a year back and the guy was wanting to trade it for a newer running VW?

Welcome aboard!

Can't wait to see all the photos of the car -- another one with dealer A/C. You sure will have a great time and challenges as you dive into the car. Once you go for your first ride, it will all be worth the effort. These cars are a blast to drive. It's nice to see some more T4's in the pipeline.

NurseryWalt and Pepperbilly are no longer the new T4 guys on the block! Very Happy Very Happy

I'm learning that the '73-'74 412's have some hard to find parts, including signal lenses. I found that some parts are interchangeable, the rear view mirror is the same as the late 70's busses, the sun visor clips are the same as the beetle, fender beading similar to Type 3... wish we had a list somewhere.

Back in the mid ‘70s I had a friend with a 1.8 914 that had these. Never saw another one with these. I really liked the look. Should look good your 411.
