I've been going through the car's records. It came with a pile of receipts going back to 1967. They aren't complete, but tell a little of the car's history.
Bought used in 1967 from VW dealer Everly Motors in Salem, Oregon for $1295.
Same owner had it until 1988 - sold it for $850
Car was sold again in 1990 for $1500
Sold again in 2012 for $5000
In 1977 at 85k miles a piston broke. The shop put a used piston in - $450
In 1984 the owner had the 40 hp engine rebuild - new everything
In 2003 the 40hp was replaced with a 1500 H block with 85.5mm pistons (1600cc)
Lots of brake work over the years. Looks like the entire brake system, all 5 cylinders and lines, was replaced in 2012 and the rear wheel cylinders were replaced again in 2013.
