buying type 3?

["Phil Burton" <pburton@mail2.wilmington.net>]

Hi everybody
   I have been on this list a while but I haven't really kept up 
since I don't have a type 3 and not much time. Anyway me and my dad 
have 3 rabbits, 4 buses, and the rest are beetles or super beetles. 
We have about 17 in all,  drive 6 and 4 others run. Someone wants to 
sell us a type 3 squareback for $200 we're going to go look at it 
tomorrow. I have always liked the looks of the type 3 but I need to 
know what to look for such as where type 3's rust? I know parts are 
more rare for them and they are just as rare around here anyway. He 
did say it needs a new gas tank and that it ran when he parked it. 
How hard is it to find type 3 gas tanks? Any help you can give me 
will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Phil Burton
