Description

Vehicle Specs

1968 VOLKSWAGEN TYPE 3 FASTBACK

A completely original and unmolested example of the German marque's stylish Type 3 Fastback.
Under the engine lid is the 1.6-litre air-cooled flat-four producing around 50bhp, which drives the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

Introduced at the 1961 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Type 3 was available in three body styles: Notchback, Squareback and this, the Fastback. It offered increased passenger and luggage space, while retaining the landmark Beetle engineering principles.
Still in original condition, the Type 3 features a classic color scheme, with a white exterior over black upholstery.
The Type 3 remains unmodified and unrestored, having simply been driven, enjoyed, and well maintained. Only change is the wheels and weber carburetors.

There is no known prior bodywork damage other than a dent on the front valiance. The floor pans are original and look great!
The exterior was repainted about 20yrs ago and shows great with the only noticeable flaw on the trunk lid where a sticker was removed. All the badges and trim are present and correct.
Inside, the interior remains in good condition, with minimal 'wear and tear commensurate with the age of the vehicle. The photo gallery presents an accurate illustration of the condition, and of course, it remains eminently usable. All gauges, controls, and switches work as they should.
There are no known mechanical or electrical faults.
The vehicle was inspected at its most recent service with the owner being issued with no warnings or advisories. We just installed new front brake calipers and pads along with 4 new tires.
