Question
As per you bio, you can help with some manuals prior to 1974. I am in need of a manual for the 1973 VW Beetle, 4 speed, 1600. It is not a Super Beetle but if the manual includes the Super, fine. Thanks

Answer
Satcatcher,
  I will have to do some homework on this. I, primarily, deal with domestic vehicles. I will check on this tomorrow. If you send your real name and e-mail address OR phone number, I'll check it out and contact you with price and availability.
  Which manual do you require? An owner's manual or repair manual?
  Let me know..

S.,
  I didn't know I could do this (add information) but I have found out I can. So here I am. I can get you a Repair Manual for your car. I'm told it is a reproduction of the VW Manual. It is $59.95 + shipping.
  If you want to discuss this, my eMail address is listed above..

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
