This page will feature pictures of the stock Type 4, both restored ones, all original cars and early dealer/factory photos.

I got the next three pictures from a book called the Volkswagen Buyer's Guide from Classic Motorbooks. This is a four door sedan 411. It appears to be an original dealer picture. You'll notice the Type 4s used the same 4-lug wheels as the late Bugs, Ghias, Type 3s and 914s.

From the same book, we see the rear three-quarter view of an 411. You can make out the headrests for the front seats from this angle. You'll notice the horizontal taillights, contrasting with the vertical taillights of the Buses and Type 3s, making these a Type 4 only.

Here we have a 1974 412 two door station wagen. Notice the different headlight arrangement versus the earlier 411. The front had a more of a point, with a wedge type feel. Like the Super Beetles of this era, the Type 4 series also had a tendency to ride high in the front. It has been said they were that way from the dealer showroom. I guess they wanted enough spring tension so you could load the trunk.

This 1974 412 belongs to Kevin Jeffreys. He rescued the car from a junkyard and he states that it ran perfectly well. The interior has seen better days, but that's expected from a car that's almost 25 years old.
