RE: [T3] Paint Code / For Sale


Just a quick question for Dave and the other listees; Type 1's couldn't be
black after 1968 (or so I'm told), and I don't think I've ever seen a black
T3.  How common a colour was it?

	The list below is VW colours for 61 to 74 (the years Type 3s or 4s
	were made for).  There are others for Ghias (painted elsewhere).
	Sorry, I don't have the info for earlier or later handy (I've a book
	somewhere, so I'll get round to it sometime.

	The Factory colour is the number on their documents and in the
	brochures.  Remember, model year is 3rd digit of chassis no, unless
	its fewer than 9 figures.

	Does anyone know of a good source for finding the original paint
