Is this the sort of price that early Type 3s are getting in >the USA? Just from my observations, the Notchbacks seem to have a higher value here in the US, mostly because of their relative scarcity compared to the Fast&Squarebacks. The Notchbacks were never "officially" sold here at all, and the T3 wasn't "officially" sold here until 1966. So an early Notchback in the US is a fairly rare beast, though there's probably more Notches running around the country than there are 412s, at this point. =) I used quotes around officially because there was a very early Notch (#10) that was apparently shipped to the owner of a dealership, and I'm sure it wasn't the only one. ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
