WTB Type 3 (Any!)
Good afternoon all,
As the subject suggests I am new to the forum. I have never owned a VW however have a great love for these cars.
Pending the sale of my current car and depending how much money I have left over after I do some work on the new house I am wanting to buy a late
model type 3 fastback (if anyone knows of one in Vic let me know).
Is there anything in particular that I need to keep a look out for?
Great forum everyone, keep up the good work.
Cheers Major.

Decided not to bid as I would prefer a manual. I have a guy interested in my current ride and with some luck will buy it. Then I will be on the hunt
for a fastback.
Still if anyone knows of one let me know. I want it as a daily driver, but I don't mind having to do a little bit of work.

mines been a daily for almost a year and i was told an auto cost a bit if it dies, hard to find late auto stuff too i was told
i have 2 late auto type 3s and 2 spare gearboxes, real hard and exspensive the 2 spare i have were given to me
do yourself a favour and join the fattie crowd, be different from all the other muppets

Thanks for the bump Matt.
As my other thread suggests, I am searching for a fastback (or notch) project. Preferrably a complete car.
Appreciate the leads, Cheers Paul.

Yeah mate. Unfortunately it is well over my budget. By the sounds of it though it is a pretty good buy.

I was seriously thinking about it. It is out of my price range unfortunately, I had a chat to the guy who owns it and he was wanting to get around
$3k. I personally think it is worth a bit more then that, I would have thought around $4k. It will be interesting to see how it goes!

It ended up going for $2500, pretty good price I would have thought. Alas I wasn't the lucky buyer, so I will keep looking for my project.

Yeah, seen this one. I think it is on ebay now, or maybe it is just a coincidence.

Guys, went and had a chat to Rick at Volksrecycle on Saturday. He is a great bloke and a wealth of knowledge. However still didn't find anything
except for a nice notch which is still out of my price range for a project  .
So I am increasing my budget and looking for a daily driver, only have $3K though (pity I didn't work this out a few weeks ago when that car was on
ebay).
Cheers Paul
