Interesting; there were many differences between export models to North America models, and Euro ones. Idk if you would have got that many miles out of the 1.7. The early 70's 1.6 dual port upright was the best of that engine. I think smog control knocked it back from 60 to 48?hp in the last few years of the Beetle.

We got an export-spec engine, no smog stuff. It lasted over 200,000km and then started to ring a bell with a loose big-end. A rebuild then lasted into the 2000s where my brother killed it somewhere, where she still lays... Neko.

P.S. Hey Sleeper, how about a shot of the back, I want to read the hippy stickers lol.

I think I see a Dave Matthews Band sticker on there.

“We are not going to have the kind of cooperation we need if everyone insists on their own narrow version of reality. … the great divide in the world today … is between people who have the courage to listen and those who are convinced that they already know it all.”

that's not really an opinion, I want dumb stupid senseless things all the time. Like that gas powered skateboard I begged my wife to let me go pick up 2 hours away.... that doesn't mean its good or there is actually a point to having it.

	Ok so update; got the van almost done, cleaned up, got her running (when she wants too) and tomarrow picking up an 87 auto westfalia ! These things are growing on me so why not get two! I'll throw some pics up when I get her home. This ones a lot better condition and runs. I love posting Craigslist wanted ads....

This thing cleaned up well and made the 75 mile trip home after sitting five years like a champ. Shits got power windows and everything works but the gas gauge. All for 1,100 bux!

	As an avid surf trip junkie, this video makes me wanna go buy a VW van. Of course, I've never done a 12,000 mile surf trip with the whole family. But it seems the VW van works very good for this application. http://vimeo.com/15149517

I wish my kids were that patient. We're going for a not as epic 1,200 mile week and a half journey with the westy this summer.
