Want a short nose, cause they look more old school and would suit my plans better. I just missed out on getting a short nose with factory sunroof the other day too... spewin.

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

There is a shorty for sale in a yard here in Adelaide, but is pricey, think it's $6000.

Bit out of my price range, but thanks for the heads up. I am looking at one next weekend, it is on the same farm that we are checking out a splitty. So hopefully we can come home with a nice splitty and a nice t3.

Don't forget '69 was old body on late pan (IRS etc).
So unless you are specific on a year model or running gear you want a '69 would be the pick of the bunch in the old shape body.

I have a 66 on 16" Fuchs. No motor. Rolling shell and would need more work, so if you are looking for an immediate driver, then this isn't for you.

U2U if interested.

Nah its less than $6,000, its $5,999!!!
Its written on the side window that its a 2.1 Litre motor which is probably most of the reason its $6K. Nice tidy car, now that my wife has seen it she wants a squareback.

Dragbug can you U2U me some details on these early squares you have, ie how tidy, how rusty, how much $ etc

Cheers
