1972 Vw Type 3 Squareback on 2040-cars
Long Island City, New York, United States
|
Up for sale is a 1972 VW type 3 Squareback. It is extremely clean and nearly rust free. I don't know a ton about this car as I haven't done a thing to it but regular maintenance and I was unable to get the exact modifications list as the owner before the person I got it from did the modifications and couldn't provide a build sheet.
Here is what I know: Engine/Trans/ drivetrain This is a modified VW motor that runs very well. I don't know what size it is nor what has been done to it but it does move you along pretty good and is definitely, definitely not a stock motor. It has a 4 speed with a SCAT Short throw shifter that works and feels great. The clutch is good, brakes are good (front disc, rear drum).The steering wheel is a very nice VW racing wheel which appears to be detachable with a key (look at the pics). The suspension is very nice and makes for comfortable ride. It has been lowered and sits on large, old school rims. The tire does rub a little bit if you turn sharply. The Engine is stamped with : 40015888 Interior The interior is nearly mint. The engine cover is the original and works very well (no leaks into the interior) and the carpet through out is very nice. The seats appear to be original but I think to have been reupholstered because they are tear free and look great. The dash has one very small 1/2" gash by the front defrosting vent. The Headliner is perfect and door cards are good. It does have speakers installed but no stereo; the last owner installed speakers but I bought it before they got to a chance to install it. All the gauges work, e-brake works well and has a custom aluminum handle. Even the interior light switch works! Exterior It has an original roof rack, with the patina look on the frame; the wood is good (could use a sanding and a few coats of lacquer) . The trim that runs down the side has been shaved and replaced with two pin strips. Tinted windows The wind caught the door one day when it was parked and caused a crease in the driver door (see pics). It could be repaired by any body shop. Because of the crease and a few blemishes, it needs a paintjob once the door is fixed. The paint job is good as is and is in decent shape otherwise, with a just a few other blemishhes. The car is almost no rust. the floors are good, battery box and engine bay are good, body is good with the exception there is a rust bubble at the the passenger fender near the windscreen (small and you have to be looking for it to see it- See the pics). Other than that is good to go. It is Sold as is AS, as it is a 41 year old car. Ask me any questions prior to bidding. Buyer is responsible for arranging shipment and pickup. Contact me if there are any questions, I am not a VW expert so please let me know if you need any more info from me. |
