Thanks Dodger Tom. Since owning my '74 Sun Bug Super Beetle, I've learned to cross reference as many parts as I can with Porsche. The common parts I've ever ordered from Porsche suppliers I've never had a complaint about.

And that would be generous, Jeffx69. At the asking price, I'm afraid this poor Bus is a goner.

Do it. It can join Crusher in your “Home for Un-loved Buses” that you’ve got goin on up there.

i would have to have Facebook, which I do not, and am not inclined to join over another bus I dont need. maybe I have the wife message him. she can insult his asking price.

Could be a late 71 build date, if you are going to flip for big bucks do dates really matter?, it's shiny, and red, come on, buy now!

This 1978 doesn't seem too bad, price is a bit high but maybe in range. But its description says how great it is since you dont have to deal with smog as it is registered as a 1972   $28,000 for a bus that is improperly registered possibly meaning something else bad, I will pass https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2547414 |
You might not even have to worry about it, since it only says “I am thinking of selling my 1978 Bay Window Bus.” What’s with the increase in ‘feeler’ ads lately? Do you want me to call, ask a ton of questions, meet up in person to check it out, then decide you’re not selling it? Why waste everyone’s time? Either it’s for sale or it’s not. Piss or get off the pot. |

Because after witnessing years of the nonsensical things people do their Buses, it all seems familiar?
