Um, what exactly is a "short nose wagon"??
Just curious.

Short nose...



Long nose

Yeh, i never new that they had different fronts, the short noise is sweet as. Good luck mate

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.

Yeh, spewin ay. They look wicked, my mates got a long nose type 3 fasty, sweet as.

there was one on the trading post website

I got a short nose, if I was offered the right money I would let it go.
T54

62 Deluxe has an early shape type3 wagon - check it out on members rides - show us your type 3 - right money and he may just be able to part with it ??? David

Turbo54 - More details would be nice...

David - Cheers buddy will go looking for it

DallanMulley - Thanks for your help... ???

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.

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.

yup... it's the earlier models. Wasn't too sure when they changed shape. Thanks for clearing that up!

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

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.

So basicly you are looking for an early..

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.

U2U if interested.
