Type 3, 1971 scored for $150 plus a trailer load of panels and parts....
Stumbled onto this little fella on the weekend, just got back from a recon mission, photos to follow....
think i'd be absolutely stark raving mad to let it slip thru my fingers..
Craig.:party
yep it has a bit of rust, but nothing a bit of hard work and TLC cant fix...

It looks like it has an Automatic, they are supposed to be pretty durable. What are your plans for the engine, stock or modified?

Yep, its an auto, no motor.
I will be keeping it as stock standard as possible. Are decent engines hard to get hold of?

Are there any Type 3s in the wreckers at Mudgee?? There were a few during the mid 90s.

Nope, the local wreckers believe the only use for a VW is on bottom of the ocean as an anchor....!!

Hard to believe ....

Those Auto Squares rock! Sold one the same last year, needed the money of course, Loved it to death tho. Great find!
The Auto engines are hard to find as most are ditched in-lue of a manual conversion, they need the kick down switch gear and other stuff.
But great find anyway dude, stay true to it standard equipement and IT sure wont let you down!!
Tough as Nails
Rock On. |

Hi Craig,
The best forum I know of that is dedicated to the Type 3 is located on TheSamba in the US.
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/
There is also the ShopTalkForums, also in the US.
http://www.shoptalkforums.com/
Type 3 people from all over the world post there. I would add it to your list of favorites. Best of luck with your new car. You can build up an engine
easily enough, but you will need to come up with the cooling tin and fan components, but they are available, it is just a question of where. The
wrecking yards are also a good place. I think I saw a posting in the General Chit Chat area from a guy how found a yard with a whole bunch of 3's.

Thanks squareD....

What are other type 3 engine options ?
I'm pretty much up in the air, willing to consider anything..

There is also a type 3 mailing list with a lot of knowledgeable people, go to http://www.vwtype3.org for more info. Great find BTW.
