1964 1500S

Might as well add another Type 3 from yesteryear. It is the imported version of the 1500S. Still a great little car to drive. Doesn't go too far as parts are getting too scarce. Have more pics of interior but HOW DO YOU ATTACH MULTIPLE PICS??

Very nice early Notch!

I don't think you can have multiple pics in one post, You just have to make it up with multiple posts.. if you get what i mean..

Restored but very little had to be repaired. 31,000 miles on clock. Original motor from 64 but high comp pistons and heads had been changed to flat top/later 60s rocker studs. Still had rotten burnt valves as they regularly did suffer from back in those days! Not much rust (only in lower doors and rear guards. None to speak of in body. Full of red dust! The only change from original is the use of high back seats, cloth seat covers and non-perforated later original roof lining. Used a NOS P/B light switch but washer valve was rotted. Made new assy from brass and "modern" o-rings and all works as normal from compressed air. Electrics are 12 volts as the Victorian owner in the past had done a shocker job on an alternator conversion. Don't believe it costs a fortune to build one up! This was purchased for $2000 and it was on the road for around $4,500. I guess it pays to be able to sew roof linings, weld and paint a bit as well as being able to machine engine parts when needed!nn[ Edited on 2/7/2005 by 1500S ]

Been there, done that in the 60s! Had a ride like a tip cart! Had a 69 I restored/rebuilt in 1997/8 and lowered that one one spline at the front as was this one at first. Only lowered 1 1/2 inches (38.1 mm for the youngsters!) but still a bit bouncy on rough surface. Rear is still a "sagged" original. Birch green 69 sold in 2000 to make room for the 64S. The next one is the 64 N taken in 1969!
