Hi Guys,
I'm still looking for a type 3 but have come to the realisation that the initial "wish" may not be all that viable.
All the prerequisites at the moment are:
pre 70's
good original condition with no (or minimal rust)
fastback prefered, then notch or square
priced around $4000 - 6000

Yeah seen that somewhere........

Hey
Just letting you know, top pic is a '70 onwards model.. not a '67 to '69 model as you requested.. so i'm not sure if you'll find that colour on an earlier car!
Fastback's are better for extra luggage space in the back, and a little more legroom i think, but IMHO the Notchback is a much nicer shape 😀
But then again, i'm biased! 😀
jo_tas ·
Thats beautiful!
Are those rear wheel arches flared? 'Cause i might need to do that with my car.. any more pics of it?
VDUBXTC ·
done.
No idea on the rear arches sorry
pettles ·
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the fast replies.
jo_tas: I was wondering about that image, thanks for clarifying.
manx_xtc: No quite what we're looking for at this stage, but I'll keep it in mind. Cheers

my fasty was for sale some time back before I thought better of it, but alas a new kitchen and bathroom is being requested and I may be willing to sell for the right deal.
I am not looking to flog it off though and I aint giving it away.
empi: Nice machine, would prefer fasty but will think on it.
mscabrio: Have already been hiting up all of the internet sites, but thanks for the reminders.
Liam_81: Have already had a good look, but it isn't really what we've been looking for. Although a trip to canberra would be nice (we lived in canberra for 4 years upto 2003 whilst going to uni, great place!).
steve-89: May be interested, colour still may not fly with my lady though. I'll get back to you.
Paddo: Cheers for the link, the machine looks great. Once again don't think colour is right (although we do own a back car at moment!). Will think on it!

Hi pettles,
I have a notch like Jim Gow's sky blue notch(the third one of your pics) but mine's mint green with black roof. It has new tyres,white walls, engine, never hit clean, good original S model, original hounds tooth interior, clean carpets, quick shifter, lowered and accessories.
Firm 8K

Cheers for getting back to me!
Thats the first time someone has said Canberra is great, people normally think it is dull and boring!
pete wood ·
Empi and Boostn, I am VERY interested in both your cars. However, the buggy I currently own needs to go first. Are either of you interested in a swap of some sort?
I'm prepared to talk about ALL reasonable offers. I know the gap in prices looks big but I think maybe we can come to some sort of arrangement.
Please call me if you think you might like to own a very cool buggy.
BTW, I assume both cars are absolutely RUST FREE. right?
pettles ·
Hey Boostn, very nice machine. Could be interested but can't do 8K (not for a notch!). Very very nice though!
pettles ·
Hi Liam_81, what'd you meen dull..............canberras got tuggers, politicians, huge round abouts and smelly lakes. What more could you want!
vw54 ·

pettles ·
cheers for the message vw54 . Still would prefer a pre 70's. Will keep in mind though!
FASTFOO ·
Hi my nan just passed away and left a very clean type3 TLE fastback.
I think its a 1971 but look just like your top pic and I think it has an indicator at the top of the tail light.
I Am in VIC but she loved the car and wanted it to go to someone that would love it too.
You car call me b/h (03) 9720-3177
Matt Douglas.
P.S it is white.
pettles ·
Hi Matt, sorry to hear about your nan.
Car sounds nice (and you definatly shouldn't be sending it to the wreckers!). We've decided that we really want a pre 70's model, so we will not be interested (yet!). This may change in the comming weeks if we have not luck.
Cheers
Nick

Empi has a reeaaallly nice '62 notch for sale - that's about as early as you get and has all the nice bits. It's almost blue (red) & in your price range - check it out.
[ Edited on 1-4-2006 by davidmaleny ]
pettles ·
hey davidmaleny , cheers for the heads up. Already checked it out. Nice machine and we may be interested if a fasty doesn't show it's head soon.
wow that light blue fasty looks very nice. They are asking 4800 as well so could be had for less, if its rust free that wont last long, thats good buying.
tinman ·
Damn that's a nice fast back. Love the colour!
I wish I had the money to buy it.
dannielle ·
whats your phone number pettles,l have a 69 fastback diamond blue for sale it's auto the motor is low miliage,good nik all round.I can't work out this internet stuff or send pictures but l can work the phone.my number is 0350833486
Does anyone know this car? is it a clubber or not...does that look like bog and rust behind the drivers arch?
pettles ·
I don't know much about this car. Had a chat to the owner though, he seemed pretty genuine. Didn’t sound like it had had damage/bog on the drivers side (I asked, passenger side front panel has been replaced though!). Looks pretty nice for the price though! No to clubber (I think!).
crewcabconnection ·
and that's a good price for that year then ya think? - he said knowing nothing about fasties...what's 'top money' for one?
pettles ·
I reckon the price is about right.......not original interior (or original looking) which doesn’t (personally) do if for me, owned by a fairly young guy, and did have things like monster tacho + potential cranking stereo installed (which has been removed – I think the amp is still there though) which could = flogged…….or your ultimate machine? Does look nice with mags + tweaked at front though!
crewcabconnection ·
cheers, I think I'll take a look. Bruce!

I've updated the initial post and this is to bump it up.
