>> We found one for sale in nice condition, except the motor has 200,000 original miles on it. > Oh no it doesnt. They dont last THAT long. While I cant say its impossible Id bank on it being rebuilt at least once. > There is a guy selling a '66 Bus on my site right now. Original owner. He rebuilt the engine at 161,000 miles. He states he was insane about maintenance - oil changes, valve adjustments, etc.. Didn't the VW dealerships have a habit of replacing/rebuilding parts that were worn out without always telling the owners though? I have heard this in the past. It made their vehicles seem to be better mechanically than expected. - Everett ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
