Howdy All, A vw camper is for sale down the block from me. It's a 78 Automatic (it says Kombi on the title), 120 CID. The body looks ok, with very little rust, and the interior is in decent shape. Here is the downside---apparently, the engine is toast, as it won't run at all. A couple are selling it for their son, who went back to college, and they want $600.00/obo. They don't know what the specific problem is, but their son said he didn't want to pay to fix it. Here's the huge question--what type of effort and money am I looking at if I wanted to restore it (worst-case scenario-and, by the way, I am about as mechanically inclined as my black lab, Gus), and what do fried campers go for these days--is it a fair price for a vehicle with a blown engine? Thanks alot for your help (and/or laughter)! Scott Finger 90 Jeep Pick-up, 90 Harley (I had some money in 90)
