For Sale
Rat 1970 Volkswagen Type 3 Fastback
Standard 1600
Exterior:
Original paint and body, has a few dents but nothing major, paint is faded on roof and has a few imperfections here and there which adds perfectly to the rat style. Also runs a brown bonnet.
It does have a couple ‘hoodride’ stencils and a logo on the side but these can be removed if the buyer wishes.
Its currently running no rear bumper, front bumper is an early type 3 bumper complete with over-riders and spotlight.
Pan and underneath is good, no structural rust, a patch has been put in under battery but has been repaired correctly.
It has a single rusty eyelid installed on the drivers side also.
Rear windows are stickered with retro logos.
Interior:
Probably my favourite thing about this fasty. It has beautiful original red trim in fantastic condition. Trims all very good near perfect, rear and passenger seat perfect, drivers has two tiny holes in top and a split in the side that isn’t very noticeable.
Doesn’t have any carpet, the pan and firewall have been cleaned and has all glue removed and has been coated in tar based deadener, looks very clean.
I spend alot of time restoring the dash, has been stripped back and painted a deep red, has the gauges polished and tidies up alot, looks fantastic.
Also has a red trimmed parcel shelf.
Wheels and Suspension
The car runs wide 14x6 steelies all round. The rim is red and the centers have been painted black for a very unique look.
Tyres are 195/60/14 on rear and 175/65/14 front. Fronts are new, rears need to be rotated but have life left in them.
Has Atlas flappers all round.
Front Runs High-Jacker Air shocks, these raise the front end by ~20mm and makes the front end 10x nicer to drive as the car is obviously quite low. Inside the cabin is a 12v compressor which inflates the shocks through a line sticking out the dash, looks very clean and tidy.
Rear is down 1 spline with bumpstops and front is down 4 splines with no bumpstops.
Mechanical:
Engine runs good, was replaced in 1998 and has done under 30,000 miles since then. Runs an unknown cam (so a couple mechanics have told me). Revs nice and goes very well.
Produces an amazing note from the custom exhaust. Extractors split into 2 resonators into two dump pipes.
Car is a 3 speed automatic, shifts beautifully. Nicest auto I have EVER driven, I actually enjoy driving this auto!
This car has just completed a 9 hour drive up to port Lincoln and didn’t miss a beat.
One of the coolest and most unique VW’s getting around. Absolutely snaps heads wherever I take it, sounds great and looks great. I get so many waves and so many complements on her everywhere.
Regretful sale but I need a super fuel economic daily as I moving down south.
Looking at $2500 for quick sale, the car is absolutely worth it I’ve put alot of my time and money into her.
