Um, what exactly is a "short nose wagon"??
Just curious.
Liam_81 ·
Short nose...
Long nose
Dougie ·
Yeh, i never new that they had different fronts, the short noise is sweet as. Good luck mate
Liam_81 ·
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.
Dougie ·
Yeh, spewin ay. They look wicked, my mates got a long nose type 3 fasty, sweet as.
pete wood ·

There is a shorty for sale in a yard here in Adelaide, but is pricey, think it's $6000.
Slammed rear and venetians all round, light grey etc. Looks sweet but dunno what it's runnin.
Liam_81 ·
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.

sorry if i am wrong but pretty much u are looking for a pre70 squareback? i think it is late real late 69 early 70 that the shape change from short to long.
good luck and hope u find a sweet one...steve.
Liam_81 ·
yup... it's the earlier models. Wasn't too sure when they changed shape. Thanks for clearing that up!
tourer TL ·
Yep, i think the pre 70's are the best model although i got a 70. Good luck with it mate, for 4 grand u should be able to get a pretty decent one!
Cheers
Matt

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. 👍
NCH-003 ·
So basicly you are looking for an early..🤪
Liam_81 ·
yes i am after an early model notch. I thought they were commonly known as short noses... obviously not.... ????
Thanks for that info Andy, if i do end up finding one, i will keep in mind that about the 69's.

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.
We have 3 early wagons,and two 1970 wagons.
What sort of nick are you looking at?

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

saw that car while cruising along south rd. Looked pretty nice in the yard...........
tourer TL ·
Here is that squareback on south road. Its awesome, dumped on it's arse! She'd go alright too thanks to the 2.1L.
Cheers
Cheers for keeping an eye out. Will try and check it out! 🙂
simoninoz ·

The title of this thread says you want a Squareback.... but here you've said you want a Notch...?
Did you change your mind? :P
Liam_81 ·
oh jeebus... too many beers for me.
had a notch, sold it... now i am after a squareback. Sorry for the confusion *apologises to myself*
PrettyBlueBug ·
😂 Forgiven!
There's sweet as black early squareback near my work, but I doubt it's for sale.... else I'd want it! :P
Will keep my eyes open for you though.
Are you willing to travel interstate to buy a car if it was exactly what you wanted (Melb's not too far from you anyway)?
Or would you be happy to organise transport carrier for it?
Liam_81 ·
It really depends on the type 3, If i really wanted it I would travel for it or organise a container... depending on how far away it is. Melbourne distance is fine for driving. Anything further would recquire it being shoved in a box.
PrettyBlueBug ·
Awesome... just checking. Now to find you a sweet ride! 😉
