It's good that you're getting more info before you take the leap into type III ownership. Me, I say to hell with that, if it's a good deal - go for it. Why, yes now that you ask, I did get another fastback today. I picked up a marinablau '71 fastback (VIN #3112183912) to keep my marinablau '71 squareback company. Of course, I'll have to push the red '73 fastback out of the way to make room for it, but what the heck - Loyalty requires Sacrifice, right Toby? I think we have one neighbor who doesn't believe my roommates and I are actually the beverly hillbillies, with nearly more cars than grass in the yard, but this ought to convince them all. Also picked up a sooper-kewl fuel injection tester. It's a full EFI Associates brand test bench, with a roll-around cart with both a model 8100 and model 9100 tester. And, and, and FULL MANUALS for both! It's even got a barometer on the bench, ooooohhh! I also got a possible line on some ECU's stored in this guy's attic, some allegedly in the box. Won't know about that for a couple of weeks, or possibly tomorrow when I go to get the bench. I also met the world's most ignorant (most common?) mechanic, who told me with a straight face that "the first thing I do with the fuel injection system after I get it off the car is throw it away".
