About the Obsolete Air-Cooled Documentation Project

Documents in possession and awaiting scanning

ONLINE MATERIALS

Without Guesswork 1969
Technical data for workshop use, covers December 1953 through August 1968 (1969 model year), types 1, 2, and 3. Contains measurements, clearances, wear limits, performance data, etc -- lots of details for the detail people! 155 pages.
Type II VW Parts Reference (1958-1967)
For post-barndoor era split-window busses, this manual contains diagrams and part numbers for every single part on the bus, including the special variants like the ambulance and pickup. Note: due to the extremely large size of this manual, I will post the sections one by one rather than all at once. There are about twelve sections. Once all are scanned, this notice will disappear. 750 pages.
