Subject:List members near Alpharetta, GA??

VeeDub pals-

I have a line on a couple of 1974 VW 412's that (for some inexplicable
reason) I would like to purchase, and transport to my home in NC for use
as transportation. They are in Alpharetta, GA, which is too far a hump
for me to traverse without one o' me smart VW pals takin' a gander at
'em prior to me rolling down there with the flat-bed.

I'd particularly like it if you know a bit about type4 VW motors, (same
motor as 1980-1983 Vanagon, 1970-1976 Porsche 914, 1976 Porsche 912e,
1968-1979 VW Bus, and 1970-1973 VW 411) but I'd trust anyone who trusts
themselves to look over an old car and give an opinion.

They have both been parked since "about 1980", so no test drive will be
implied, but a good eye for rust will be appreciated. A digital camera
owner who can send a couple dozen pics would be a dream come true.

The gentleman who currently owns them should be a hoot to talk to. He
speaks with a heavy accent (French? Belgian? Not sure), and borders on
eccentric in the most classic VW sense. bought these back in 1980
"because I liked the way they look". Has 9 other old VWs as well, all
apparently derelict, or nearly so.

p-mail please if you can do me this solid.

Developing business and guiding change since 1996,
