1970 VW Type 3 Squareback
4spd manual transmission
Acquired this car from a buddy - he started picking up parts for the restoration and then realized he can’t really fit in it and drive it comfortably - he’s a big boy - so he moved on
he gave me the trim pieces for the doors and fender and window seals - dash many other new replacement parts - also has original roof rack
so it’s now on to me - I was thinking about a restoration but before I dove in, figured I’d list it in its current state
the car runs and drives great- stops great too- has a straight body and pan - with only surface “dust rust”
Car is all original - with original fuel injected motor - and trans is original - think they’ve never been out of the car interior is 5/6 out of 10 - interior needs redo but all parts there - found a couple suppliers with relatively inexpensive interior kits - crazy how much cheaper parts are on these cars versus sand cars!
Front apron hood and driver’s fender are quality replacements - need adjust
Has Fuchs Porsche chromed wheels and 5 lug hubs and brakes conversion and lowering all done by Dan at competition engineering here in PHX $2800 service - great shop for vw parts and service - he knows the car well
- not many original examples still left out there anymore- this is a straight, rust free, original car - great restoration candidate or leave as with patina paint
Located in PHX
$7500
