[SOLD] [FS - NSW] Volkswagen Type3/Variant/Squareback/1600 ’68 Rat-Look
ironvanman - September 14th, 2016 at 08:57 PM

Engine rebuilt by arguably the best VW mechanic in the country, namely Steve Muller of Kombi Rescue. Used only German authentic VW parts, the build costing $3200
Rego ‘til 13th November.
Strong Bosch battery.

Rough paintwork with rust and scruffy interior – he’s a Rat Look, that’s the idea ;-) Every time rego comes around each year I pay a few hundred bucks on rust work to get the paperwork and then he goes strong for another year. So he’s been super-cheap motoring.

Very reliable because of the engine rebuild; I’ve driven him all over Australia, including a non-stop trip from Adelaide to Sydney through the night, stopping only for petrol and coffee.
Speedo, and stereo are the only things that don’t work and he needs a passenger-side window winder handle, oh and the seats don’t flip forwards very well.

Lots of service history paperwork.
Motor drives smoother than any old Volksie I’ve owned – I’ve had lots.
California roofrack comes with him.
Selling as I’ve bought a camper.
Located in 2096.

Don’t buy this car if you don’t like talking to strangers or taking photos of them by your car.

I’m putting a price up of $3900 and I’m open to discussions on this as there are so few around I’ve found it really tricky to price. Not interested in selling the engine separately; I’ve been keeping old VW’s alive for 20 years and so I want this one to keep on the road and keep being loved and enjoyed.

Please PM or email me if you have any questions or you want my mobile number for a chat.

Thanks for looking!

cool square - iI had a hand in building it a while ago and sold/delivered to sydney to one of the designers at DEUS (from VIC) well worth the money and easily return it to VIC - good luck with the sale.

Sorry guys, I've been in hospital and still feeling a bit cloudy with painkillers.
I will reply to PM's soon as and I think someone wanted some interior pics, so I'll do that tomorrow.
Once I've a PM or phone conversation with all those who've shown an interest I'll then consider the figures and who I might prefer looking after him next.
Thanks for your patience guys,
Jez
