I have a line on such a vehicle, bought new in Germany, imported and then sitting for many years. Body etc. supposed to be pretty good.

Any suggestions as to potential value, or where I might learn more?

TIA,

Richard

Like Paul said, www.thesamba.com is the best resource for all things VW. '69s don't have reduction gears. CV joints were introduced in 1969. The bus world is divided into split window ('67 and older) and bay window models. A clean '69 pop-top is a nice find.

Err... I dunno about that, Jeff. My 68 Westy had CV joints. First year for IRS in buses. Bugs, Type 3's and Ghias go them in 69 but the autostick versions got them in 68 as well.

Baywindows sell from $900-$7000 in the San Francisco area. I have seen them inch higher these past couple of years. I heard of one exceptional example sell for $15K+ at auction recently. For the most part, $2500-$3500 is pretty average around here for non-rusty examples.
