For sale - 1973 Volkswagen Type 3 ‘Squareback’, GBP 10450

Imported by Type 2 Detectives in 2013, from California.

Rare factory auto.

Porsche 911 ‘Tombstone’ seats trimmed in black vinyl with houndstooth cloth.

Immaculate headliner.

Slammed on original Type 3 running gear.

Original Porsche 914 rims.

I’ve owned her since 2017 and did the below:

1776 VW Engine Co ‘Turnkey’ Engine
Twin Weber 40’s
Low Pressure Fuel Pump
Fuel Cut-off Solenoid
Engle 110 Fast Road Cam
Alternator Conversion
Vintage Speed ‘Super Flow’ exhaust

Recently serviced, new fuel lines, brake pads + 12 months MOT!

Solid underneath. The heating works a treat!

Extremely recent top end rebuild (still running her in, 300 miles to go) so she will need a service at 500 miles, carbs tuned, valve clearances checked etc etc.

Selling as I have just bought a house and need to pay off credit cards and buy some curtains.

I bought her for £7.5k, then spent the same on the engine, and then some! So she is priced to sell.

She’s also bright orange (OG patina), which on a 70’s VW, is the colour to have!
