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.

Below I have included only a couple pictures (quite poor quality), much more detailed photos will be taken this TUESDAY.

Nice car mate! Very tastefully done, no fake rattiness about it. Good luck with the sale. If I had a bit more in my savings account I'd be sorely tempted, it should go pretty quick at that price!

PM sent mate. Cheers.

HELL YES!! Thats mint dude. If I had the cash I'd grab that SO fast.. Good luck with the sale.

haha Mint isnt the word i would use but its definantly very cool.

Should also mention the seals in this car are fairly perished (boot, bonnet, some windows), so they leak a tiny little bit. Buyer could consider getting a seal kit.

The only one that leaks is the rear window seal and it leaks about 1 drop an hour when it pouring down with rain, so next to nothing.

Hey Troy,

Just showed this to a mate who's looking for one, hopefully it doesnt catch on fire like your last one did on me haha

haha that brownie kid works wonders

haha brownie did a fantastic job bringing it back to life, looks just as good as it did before haha

i look forward to more pics of this, my mates pretty keen, looking at the red one too.
i wanna see how that exhaust setup looks from the back

Heres an old picture of the back, the exhausts are pretty subtle, i was going to change them for some 2" stainless straight out the back but these look very tidy as they are, they are polished stainless afterall.

i dont mind them the way they are actually, looks very neat.
i know the guy who picked up your orange one.
very cool car in the flesh

New pictures will be up as of tomorrow afternoon. The car isnt perfect (its a rat afterall) but i think its quite a good deal. Will be a shame to see her go. Nothing quite gets attention like this fastback.
