My donor was a 1969 VW sedan that was originally delivered to Cleveland, Ohio (high school graduation present, I bet) then went to Syracuse, NY (college, I guess) and then Cambridge, MA (Grad school then real job) all the same owner. It then lived in and around Boston with three different owners until I bought it and by that time all four fenders were crinkled, the engine cover had a ding and it had been sitting for a while, but other than that it was OK for $275. The pan was straight and that’s all that mattered. The donor engine is now in a VW convertible cruising the “Lakes Region” of New Hampshire every summer and is still going strong.
