    What's this shit worth? VW Kombi, Corona, Weird boat motor

    A mate from work's old man passed away recently. He's going to have to quit his job to clean up the estate and sort out something for his disabled brother who his old man had been looking after. It's all a big shitfight unfortunately.
    Turns out his old fella was a hoarder and has heaps of shit. He is going to sell most of it off to try and fund the care his brother needs. All located in Canberra.

    One is a VW Kombi (think around '76 or '77). No rego, minor rust in the front dog leg but otherwise sound. It's a transporter so it doesn't have the walkthrough.

    Another is a mid 70's Corona sedan, which is apparently in good nick and registered, but has a knock on startup like every other 18R.

    Lastly, this old boat motor. it's some sort of inboard arrangement that bolts through a hole in the floor.

    He also has a shitload of old valiant stuff - engine and trim bits.

    I've told him to get me more photos.

    Any guesses as to what this shit is worth?

    Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons

    does the zombi have a type 4 motor? i assume it does.. good ones go from about $15-$35k i figure it's stupid money by now.. i figure 5-6k for that one

      I think it has a type 2 motor but doesn't seem like it'd be the right motor considering the high indicators and square bumpers. But there's another motor under the house apparently so who knows. Yeah, I was thinking around $6k after a wash and new battery.

          i think type 2 motors were options on some kombis, and standard on some cheap ones (even bay windows)

            what planet are you from ?

            Only genuine campers and splittys go for that money

            Its either an 1800 or 2000 motor , I think they stopped 1600s around 70/71 . It is a Type 4 motor , probably with twin carbies
            I can put it up on the air cooled forum if you like with your mates details ?
            I wanna do 8s bruv! Without no stinkin' POWERCHIP

              dunno on the value, there's some real shit-arse examples on carsales for $6k plus, and they are the cheapest ones on there. He will probably put rego on this to sell it.
              Yeah sure, any help will be welcome I'm sure.

                yeah i've seen some total heaps of shit sell for $10k

                i thought the type 1/2 motor was available until around 76? before injection came in

                  Yeah when I half-seriously looked around at Kombis a few months back your money didn't go far. Rusty ones $5k, better ones $10k - that's just Transporters and passenger vans, nothing special.
