Not sure if you have seen this before, but here it is again....RAD!!!!:D

Yay!! Im glad someone has bought this old beast. I used to feel sorry for it every time I went to VVDS, hoping someone out there would buy her to restore. Keep us all updated will you mate!

AussieKombiUte - December 30th, 2002 at 03:24 PM

yeah i'll post pics on as it gets better. dad already has a 411 and it's been sitting at his factory for years then he found the 412 and bought that. He is going to do the 412 up and use the 411 for parts.

yeah that green woody looks neat... almost had Boris talked into doing the same .... but we ran outta LIFETIMES to do the resto modification in.

How rare are the type 4's? You just don't see them, even at the shows.

You can sort of see early Passat looks in it, particularly from the rear.

I think that the 411 / 412s were all private imports

ive seen about 20 or so over the years. If you really want one i know where a few are.

vanderaj - January 3rd, 2003 at 11:57 AM

Thanks, but no thanks! :) My type 3 is rare enough!

If I was going to buy something that rare I'd definitely be going KG.

yeah parts are hard to find, one of the guys was going to give it to me a 411 4 door sedan, but the wrecker in Canberra has a few,

Personally i would want one but they are nice to drive and when u see that pic above well, they do look good
you could probally get one for less than a grand i recon.

AussieKombiUte - January 8th, 2003 at 07:10 PM

we have most the parts for it. The only problem we have is the rust but it's fixable.

I have a 412LE station wagen.It is 100% complete,It had aircon but has been disconnected also petrol heater system.It has been well cared for no rust or dents original metallic marathon blue paint. Also have a 411 two door sedan and other parts for 411's.
I have heard of a few around oz not so many 412's would be interesting to know how many are here maybe need a register or something.

[size=4]Ever since I saw My first 4 door 411 back in the early 70's, I have always wanted one. I like the look of them and a 4 door air cooled VW... Unreal.... and a type 4 engine... and more power... UNREAL... I love em... I DO prefer the look of the 412 over the 411 though.... the metallic blue 412 wagon is especially nice...[/size]:thumb:thumb:thumb:thumb
