I agree that if you want to choose the truly classic year then 67 is the best for both type 1 and type 3. I'm partial to the early body style, IRS, and FI, however, so that pushes me to the 69 as far as type 3s go. > I am seriously considering converting my '66 T-3 to 12V and IRS.

I have a 71 squareback MT IRS rear subframe, which you would also need, unless you already have one. I have some extra MT IRS axles, too. They are the same as beetle MT axles, so they should be easy to come by. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
