Wanted: type 4 aircooled for my 72 Westy

Post by Gatorp2 »

Looking for a Motor for my 72 VW Westafilia. It is a 1700cc but any air cooled later than that will work if its a Type 4. it is different than the upright from the beatles. i think a porche, Karma Ghia, or possibly a fastack motor will work. Looking for something affordable but willing to deal, I am a Professional Mechanic and am willing to trade labor as well. Let me know if you have anything that may be of interest, thanks
I dont identify myself as one of you weird VW people and yet I'm the dude with two Air Cooled peices of junk.... ?

its sitting down in wyoming in a impound yard since the guy who "bought it" well who kinda stole it. but yeah its made it down there before he got pulled over and arrested for a suspended license and the van had expired plates so yeah not sure if it is still down there but its got a nice impound fee going
