>Hi there.
> I am new to this list as I am to Type 3 ownership recently as well. I
>have had other type 3's before (notch,fastback,and 2 type 3 ghias) but
>that was some time ago. But this is my first squareback and is the
>nicest VW I have ever owned in my opinion.
> I was surfing the net one day when a bit of mail dropped into my box
>froma VW mailing list. I checked it out immediately and followed up on
>what I saw. The result was a one owner (89 year old lady), low mileage,
>all original, always garaged, rust and accident free, meticulously
>maintained, 67 Squareback.
> The car is not perfect but is as virgin as can be. The paint shines as
>good as new and has been on the car for 30 years! The chrome is bright,
>the interior clean (a little carpet wear and one crack in the dash pad)
>and it runs like a top. Along with the car came a very fat folder full
>of every record of anything ever done to the car from day one. This is
>the type of find I have heard of and read about in the magazines but
>never figured it would happen to me.
>
> This car will be a great resource for anyone restoring a type 3 of the
>same vintage because everything is correct. If anyone out there wants to
>know anything, just let me know, I will be glad to help.
>
> The only thing I am looking for is a set of floor mats (coco mats?) to
>cover the carpet in the front. If anyone has some that they want to sell
>or a suggestion as to where to go, I would very much appreciate it.

>Thanks!
>Happy Motoring!
