Vicelores Notch (Etta)
Hey guys..
Well iv been posting like crazy on here and with with all you guys help finaly have my first VW in the garage...
Shes a 1967 type 3 1600 Notch.. this is one of the cleanest notches iv ever seen.. 100% stock standard down to the point of still having the paint
stickers on the inside of the panels.. Its had 2 owners and for the past 4 years sat in a garage.. before that it pretty much sat in a garage most its
life too.. its got around 50,000 Miles on the clock atm..
Plans include. Lowering, New wheels , overriders, clear indicators, A fully stealth stero install using all the best audio gear and a full alarm with
central locking.. After all this has been done i will be looking into the Engine, Braking and the electrics.. 12 V conversion.. New headlights..
ignition etc.. And what ever else pops up down the track..
So heres some pics of the pickup yesterday.
Cheers Vice

Vice that is a very nice Notch. It's like no other 67 1600 I've seen before, 1600 on the deck lid looks 67 but no mustache on the bonet and no over
riders like a 1500 and an early interior. Lots of things make it look early to me but the body No. will tell you. That is a great looking car. Enjoy.

Vice Aussie cars have there own body numbering system. They changed to it some time in early 60s I think (some one will know). The 3rd digit in your
body No. is the year. The No. is on the tunnel under the back seat. If it is a 67 it should have a 7, I think your car may have a 5.

How about that. I have read in 67 VW Australia made many unusual variations of the Type3 using up parts before the CKD kits came from Germany.
To me your car looks like a VW1500 from 65 in a lot of ways.
Things that I would look at are has it been repainted? If it has have someone taken the mustache off the front because I thought all 1600s had
them.
Are there marks where over riders were? also thought 1600s had those. Why would any one take them off?
Wird 2 tone interior like early car but not the same I don't think. I would have thought 67s have single colour interior.
Your engine No. seems right for the year to me but I'm not 100% sure. The 1600 badge looks like one from 67.
In 67 they made something called an improved 1500 is this car one? Looks like a 1500 with 1600 engine. I assumed an improved 1500 would be like a
1500n from 66 with more chrome or something. I hope your car is how it came from the factory because if it is its COOL.

I had a 67 notch in the eighties that was the same as that only white(originally).
Wide five six volt but '67 pan numbers. Must have been CKD since it had "made in Western Gernany" on the front tag.
Same tail lights, reflectors, no mustash nor overriders, and VW1600 badge etc.
Mine had a dual port 1600, but cant recall f it was the correct numbers.
It began very rusty even in the eighties.
I think you are right Richie, leftovers.

From 1964, the Notch and Square in OZ didn't have overriders or bonnet mustache until the 1969 models appeared so in that way, nothing has been taken
off. If others have had them over the years they have had them added since leaving the production line. The Fasty was the only one from '66 to '68
to retain both. I think it was somewhere around 1967 that the roll top backrests on front seats appeared. The two tone vinyl only relates to the
door cards and rear quarter cards which was still correct for that year. I had a Square around this 67 vintage with the roll top backrest. It still
didn't have the backrest locks and still had the push in locks at the inside handle, not the pushbutton as on Vice's Notch (just looked at an old
pic of it!)

That was the same basic specs as my '67 Square Dave including the rust in the front parts but that was in the early 70s! 6 volt yes with the first
of the dual port 1600 engines.

Thanks for that 1500S I have only been involved with Aussie Type3s from that era that are 66 fastbacks. I have been looking at too many German cars in
mags and on the internet and was wrong in thinking that Aussie 1600 squares and notchs had the same stuff as my fastback. When ever I seen a car like
that I,d think it was a 1500. Are you saying dual ports came out in late 67? Wow did not know that either.

Not sure what month they started with the dual ports but would have been about mid 67 from memory. I got rid of that Square in 1974 as well as any
paperwork with rego info. Only one photo of left side with door open to remember it by!! No doubt there will be all sorts of reasons for the dual
port heads but the primary change to them would have been forced upon VW by the Merkins for the fuel injection pipes. Under standard setup, there
was no benefit over the single port dual carb engine with regards to output power. Even though the fuel injection was in Europe and the US in '68,
I don't think we got it until 1970 in the body update models. There may have been a few imported 68-69 models here. The Notches had the bump on the
left inside of rear boot for the black box from around 68 but never cut out. Likewise with the side panel of the Fastys. There have been a few
"genuine no accident 1964 Notches" around over the years but the black box bump gives it away that at least the left rear quarter has been replaced
with a much later part.

It's looks like a genuine 67 with what's on it. Certainly not a 64. Maybe the original owner had the RACV membership transferred from another
vehicle??
