The only thing on the outside he left Adam is the overriders on the bumpers. What did he leave on the inside?

That car is a "twin S". It is not an import. There were Australian built Sea Blue cars, just not many of them. Have seen that car in the flesh and I
must say that the body is not half bad on it. Reasonable money for the car that it is... It is all there too but needs tidying. Surprised it hasn't
sold yet.
That black notch doesn't look like an import either.... An aussie model with overriders added.

Good lad!! Do you know I sat on a NOS ignition switch/lock for my
notch for a few years. The one in it worked great after I mixed a key barrel and the electrical part by machining a couple of internal bits.
Someone up north wanted a switch for an early one so pulled it for him and used the NOS one.
Still got a spare NOS indicator arm!

Is your 69 wagon an auto or manual ? Can you list the first 3 numbers of the compliance plate and chassis number on the tunnel ?
It seem's to be a bitsa, with a 1968 front guard, and 1970+ rear guards and bumpers.
The larger tail lights were first used for the 1970 model year in Germany along with the square bumpers, which makes them impossible to have been
fitted on a wagon built between 8/68 and 7/69. 69 wagons were also assembled in Aus from CKD kits sent over from Germany so should have been complete
for the model year specs, and usually had the wrap around blinkers on the front.
Would also be interested in seeing a pic of your manual reference re. large tail light option .

I hear ya. I've owned a 68 fasty and a 70 wagon before. Chassis number is 36220651XX. This is manual,
The owners manual is all over the place. Shows late and early feature. Sorry bout the crap photo. But you can see under the tail lights it says
Optional extra.
The manual says December 69 on the inside and shows high back seats and big indicators on the cover being 71 on i think

White cards and seats as shown in the manual. The front seats are early 60's replaced by previous owner.

By all accounts that car is a 1968 model as the fuel filler door is opened from the outside. A true 1969 has the release inside under dash. The
bumpers and rear lights are off a 1970 (August 1969 release) or later. A 1969 has the overrider bumpers and also wrap around front indicators.
Someone has bolted later rear guards on as well as later bumpers on it as Variant L has pointed out.
However, the body may just be a 1969 and a previous owner has changed the front guards to earlier to use the bullet front indicators and the rears to
have integral reversing lights as well as de-chroming most of it. Have a look under the right dash and see if there's a hole where the pull release
for the fuel door was.

Checked and no hole for the pull release although the carpet is trimmed for it. Will early rear guards and bumpers bolt straight on?? This is not the
first 69 Squareback i've seen with nipple indicators.

The guards will bolt straight on. One of the fellows in Canberra (Andy ?) had late guards on the rear of an early square as he seemed to like the
bigger lights.
There have also been a few 69s with the early tank put in and the exterior filler hole welded up "for security reasons". There was a red one from
Newcastle area done that way.
Never think that some things "came out of the factory" as being true as 40 years on, anything can and have been changed to suit the later owners
likes.
If you want it to look a real 69 you need to change the bumpers, front and rear guards for the correct tail light/front indicators/side marker lights,
put the chrome strips back on the sides and add the bonnet trim. Only you can decide if the cost is worth it.

half true Adam, most of the 68's were old model spec with 5 stud, filler under hood and 3 vent levers, but the German CKD or imports have the black
knobs.
I suspect this is a 69 wagon with a 68 front guard and 72 pan, guards and bumpers rather than a German 68 ( the compliance plate number would
tell).
The December 69 manual is for the 1970 model year, and most of the manuals still have earlier photos with the descriptions. The 69 model manual
still has the smaller raised taillights.
The "* optional extra" reference for the late models is for the rear reversing light, which wasn't standard fitment ( the bases came without the
socket, wiring, and no switch in the transmission).
You're right about the bullet indicators as all the pre-70 squarebacks in USA have bullet indicators as standard. Only late 68 CKD/1969 squares have
wrap arounds in Australia, but quite a few have been replaced with bullets, thought of doing this myself.

haha. I was waiting for the dash photo request. I don't care if it is a 69 or not, that's just what the papers say it is. As i said before i've
owned a 68 and a 70 and am well aware of the differences etc. But i would like to change the column and wheel to the old style if it will fit. Maybe
it is a 72 with front guards changed and a 70 tailgate. There is a wiper arm on the column that is not connected. The key works on everything besides
the (early  ) drivers door

But your claim was "Here is one to rock the boat. My 69 Squareback. IRS. according to my December owners manual large rear lights were optional".
By December 1969 the showrooms all had the new body style in them and any leftover early bodies were around the back somewhere to be sold off with
great discounts. The fact is from the outside it looks nothing like a 69 square except that it's a short nose one. The dash now does show in fact it
is a 69 but with a 72 on steering column. Also, can't be a 72 with changed front guards as they won't fit plus the 72 also has a different dash.
As someone else says, it's a bitsa, but if you are happy with the looks then that's all that matters.
Maybe there is a problem in that it gets new Type 3 owners believing things associated with year identification which isn't so.

Thanks for the info. Guess i was wrong about the rear lights being optional extra as i now hear it is the switch.
No doubt it's (69?) a bitsa.

It seems at the start of the CKD cars in late 68 (69 model year)there were a few German 68 spec cars with fuel flaps like that. I think these cars had
bullit indicators, no over riders and swing axle. Interesting there is a car on ebay at the moment that claims to be a 68(bullits,no over riders) but
has a 69 and latter type fuel flap.

These features are exactly what my 68 has.
Do Aussie stamped/pressed cars have a plaque that says "made in Australia"? If so then it's an easy way to tell an import/ckd car from an
Australian made one?

I have not seen any Aussie produced type3s with "made in Australia" on the plaque. I think that is because that only 30%-40% of the cars were made
in Australia so on the plaque it says "made in Germany". Cruser your car would still have a lot of aussie made componants like glass, starter motor,
genorator ect. but not an Aussie pressed body. Aussie made beetles (1963-1968?) had "made in Australia" because they were up to 90% Aussie made.

Looks like an Aussie 67 with latter 4 stud wheels and brakes. I like the colour but I have not seen one that colour before.
