I have a 1974 Westfalia for sale, with clear Alabama title. Has rust, see pictures. The motor runs, but the gas tank needs to be pulled and a fuel pump put in, so we were afro engineering it with a garden sprayer, so you will need a trailer unless you can pull the tank and fix it here and drive off (firewall is already removed and everything). It has a 5 rib transmission, and an 1800 motor, seats are in excellent shape, missing stove but have the sink, and canvas is a little ragged but could be patched or ignored.

Here's the pics:

HAS NO STARTER OR COIL.

No Type-2 with injection ever had a mech. fuel pump. The location for the fuel pump on the case was present but never machined.
   Loaf, if your orig engine had a mech. pump it was not a '74 block but earlier and would have come with a pair of "Solex lumps" that VW claimed were carbs. I think it would be next to impossible to find a mech.pump for those "Critters" these days.  The pumps lasted a long time but the push rod would wear out quickly as much as 6-8mm.

Hmmm... mine was an 1800 aw code engine, which was the original for 74 however mineis also an automatic, so maybe it was a leftover run from 73 blocks.... I still have the mechanical fuel pump in my garage, since the new 2000 uses a facet, so if you know anyone that could use the mechanical pump let me know...

When I bought Homer the Super Bus the first time (yes, I've owned this beast twice) it contained the remains of what I believe was it's original 1700 type 4 engine (destroyed by . . . drum roll please . . . . . . a dropped exhaust valve seat. Hard to believe, I know, but that's what did it in   )  It was equipped with carbs and a mechanical pump.  It's a '73, so that's to expected . . . but, the date on the door post is something like August 4th or 5th, 1973, which "should" make it a '74 model, right? (Aug. 1st starts the new model year?)  But the VIN says it's a '73, so I'm going with that.  The date on the door post still makes me wonder . . . not like it really matters now though.

Another thing to keep in mind is that VW produced vehicles for markets all over the world.  Everything VW sent to the US market after 68 had IRS trannys, but some markets never got 'em.  When the last air-cooled Beetle rolled off the line in Mexico in July '03, it was equiped with a swing axle.  1300 single ports were a one year only engine in the US, but were standard for many years in other markets.  A few years ago I saw a set of 1300 Dual Port heads for sale.  Why am I rambling about all this stuff?  Just to say in a whole lot of words what Ret.Bugtech said in a few . . . anything's possible.  

Alright everyone. The Bus is now $400 but with none of my new parts. Someone please get it, I could really use the $$$.

Sold. 

I was sad to see her go.

But I'm not abandoning VW's, I'm just waiting until I have the proper tools and storage space to work and keep them. Moved to Athens today, but I'll still be around Chattavegas on my off days and for VW shows.
