>Defintely not. You can buy anything for them and the junkyard queens are
cheaper when you can find them, than the later model VW engines in my area
but all the local parts store can do for you is order you parts if they can
get them. Here in Mid. TN there aren't sources for VW's so I'm not better
or worse off with a Corvair.

station, call for a ride and come back with a truck and pull it home -
that's if I throw a rod. Only done that once. The little stuff like
distribs and carbs I'll carry spares of.
