1968 Volkswagen Type 3 Variant Squareback 1600L

**** NOW SOLD *** 1968 VW Type 3 Variant Squareback for sale

Running 1641cc with top end rebuild (new pistons, barrels & heads) and 34mm Solex carbs. New EMPI single quiet pack exhaust, new flywheel & good clutch plate.

15" Porsche 914 alloys. Tyres have plenty of tread.

Mostly original interior with rare original EMPI GT steering wheel. Hurst shifter. The seats & headliner are good with age related wear as expected.

4 owners from new. Had a refurb c. 2009 before I bought it in June 2010. It now needs some work. There's some crustiness on the front wings that will probably need some new metal and I have a replacement boot hatch that'll need spraying and fitting as the original one looks OK but is bubbling up on the seams. Underneath it needs replacement rear floor sections and repairs to the rear wheel arches around the seat belt and seat mounts.

I rebuilt the top end of the engine during/ after lockdown and have done less than 100 miles/ year since. It's now 1641cc up from 1584cc, runs and drives well after warming up but needs a tune to be 100%. The odometer reads 54921 miles but stopped turning a few years ago.

I'm looking to sell because I don't use it more than a few times in the summer and it's time for another enthusiast to take it on. I keep it in a dry garage and it's a pain to get down my steep drive but I'm not desperate to sell and these cars are rare, so no silly offers. Priced with condition and the bodywork and welding underneath that needs to be done in mind: £7, 500 ONO.
