Searching for a late Type 3 Fastback
Volkswagen4me - December 10th, 2013 at 05:09 PM

Hi everyone,

I'm on the search for a vw Type 3 Fastback (1970s onwards) to potentially restore, depending on its condition.
Preferably I'm after an orange car with mainly original features, but I'm not too fussed.

It would be great to hear from you about any fastbacks you might know of which are for sale.:cool:

Cheers,
Lincoln

there's a few advertised at the moment around the traps.
how much are you looking to spend? What state are you in?

Yeah, I've been searching through a lot of websites but just can't seem to find one suitable enough. Also, I'm looking for one with a hardtop.

Looking to spend only around $2000 (give or take) for the car.
I'm in NSW but am happy to do a bit of a roadtrip if the car's registered. If it isn't registered, I'd probably only buy one within NSW.

I should also mention that I'm after a manual vehicle:)

2k on the road? i think you need some more pennys, you will get a runner that needs restoring for that but not on the road, just from what i have been watching

I can still dream can't I?:) Thanks for the tip.
My max would probably be $3000, and I've seen a couple go for that price in fair condition and registered.

Regards,
Lincoln
