What price '65 Notch?
Ok, I have the chance to buy this notch, it is a '65 1500 with the side draft carb.
The body is very clean with the only rust I could find is in the left hand front bulkhead. Small dent behind lh blinker and side swipe on the lh door
otherwise spotless body.
Interior is showing it's age a little, door rubber are shot
Engine is smokey
Swingaxle boots are stuffed
Top front trailing arms are moving, I think the sway bar is broken or lose at one end.
and the bumpers as you see them.
What is a good price for this?

It is hard to price a car unseen.If body and paint OK I reckon between $1000 and $2000.Early type 3's are becoming rare.

Looks pretty clean for an early notch. Mechanical problems are easilly fixed but body repairs can be expensive as good panels are reasonably hard to
source. If it aint rusted to buggery it would make a fine project. Good luck:thumb

looks like a sweet ride, has it been restoed sometime in the past? if so make sure you check the sills and roofline and pan for dodgy-ness (bubbles,
lumps etc) just to be sure theres nothign hiding under the paint, but i recon if its as rust free as you say, the damage to the side is only inor and
the bumpers were straight i would be happy to part with upto 2K for it, as is maybe $1000 to $1500 would be good and ir econ you could walk away
happy.
hard to say though with type 3s, as they are so much less known then their siblings they are never going to be as valuable as other dubs of the same
condition (not that that matters when they are cooler and better to drive  )

Quick update. Just picked it up, ran out of fuel just as I got the front wheels in my driveway and had to drive it in on the starter.
Some goodies

garbage. VWs are not rare. Not even split window beetles or WW2 kubels. Bolwells, now they are rare.

Yes, it's a little rough in places but a solid car. I'm going out to Wilson's (local vw wrecker) tomorrow as he has what looks to be an early notch
in his yard. I'll see if it has some straight bumpers and a few other little things.

good stuff mate. They are uncommon, but not that rare. I saw one very much like yours in country NSW last week. there was a lady in her late 60s
driving round and it looked like it was still going strong despite the patina on the bootlid and roof. It will make a great rat one day. I won't tell
anyone where it is, cause the owner looked like she was really enjoying it and it had plenty left in it. No doubt someone from the area knows about it
and will snap it up when she's ready to sell it. Enjoy yours.

Next swapmeet you go to just look under all that split window beetle & kubelwagen junk. You are bound to find some type 3 gold there....:alien
Early notches may not be rare but I'll be f****d if I am spending over $2k for a donor car when you can get the equivelent beetle for $500.
I've been stockpiling parts for the last 10 years for my notch cos the prices for parts are ridiculous. Not that I would know what I am talking
about or anything....
- Adam
BTW I drove my notch today so as hundreds of Melbournians saw my car does that mean that all of a sudden, early notches are coming out of the
woodwork??? Bollocks.:bounce

Sweet ride you picked up.
Watch those rubber floors as they would be as brittle as anything and don't like being lifted up when things need adjusting. Is it running a single
carb or twin?

It's got the single sidedraft carb, the engine has stopped smoking as much since I turned the idle mixture screw in about 6 turns. It has been
backfiring and then draging oil back in out of the aircleaner. I think it just needs a good run. I put in a quick shift today and replaced the shift
coupling, big inprovement!

I am running the same carb much to the dismay of several people I know. Tuning the buggers is just a way of life...get used to it.:cry Mine has been
backfiring and farting like a grumpy 40y.old. I think the ol' girl needs some TLC and a good wash. Until then, a good slap usually shows them whos
boss..
