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 |

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? |
ya it was in columbus on marketplace, it disappeared until a few weeks ago a guy in our local club about an hour west of me posted it on our facebook group . he traded a type 3 for it couple years back. _________________ ~Jay

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! _________________ 1973 412 Wagon

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. _________________ **SUPPORT THE SAMBA**

Havent gotten much done on the 411 since i bought it, end of Feb, i had an accident and broke my left leg . Ironically the 411 is the one Vw i own i could be driving right now but I dont have my barn up yet and a storage unit doenst give you much room to work on a car .. I did how ever pick up a vintage set of wheels for the 411 though lol ..

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.
