And this time it wasn't very far from home. I don't know much about the car's history except that it's been floating around the local area for about a decade. I love fastbacks and they are very hard to find where I live, especially in a condition that is worth saving. I love the colour and the add ons. I am bringing it home this month to clean it up and figure out what it needs the most. The engine is in pieces, but all of the pieces seem to be present except the block. Dual carb. Thankfully the deal comes with a parts Squareback.

Nice find. Hopefully you'll get the green Square in the background. Fix 'em both up, then f*%k with people's mind.
Them: This isn't the car you were driving yesterday.
You: Yes, it is.
Them: Yesterday it was a station wagon.
You: Oh, that. Yeah, that's called a "Square" back. I just took that part off and put the "Fast" back on. _________________ Everything known to man has been written.

In a perfect world I would love for that to happen. The red Square in the back is my parts car, and I am thinking of talking to the owner about the green Square. _________________ 1970 Campmobile [url=https://www.vw-mplate.com/mplate-47260.png]Click to view image[/URL]

Good Find ! ... Hope you see the restoration through.
1970 & 1971 Green Type 3's were odd, the Fastback was Deep-Sea Green (L66B) where the Squareback was Elm Green (L60D). |

I think they will swap, but the '73s have reinforced doors (at least in the US) and that MIGHT have changed something. |
