Hi Folks, I have been off the list for about a week so I don't know if anyone reported on the Vintage Meet at Shoreline, WA last weekend. However, there were at least five nice Notchbacks, mostly customized and lowered, but much better than last year's dismal showing. A white '66 lowered had original paint that was very nice. A blue 65 (I think) with flares was the only one with a stock steering wheel, and it had a nice horn ring that had an upper as well as the usual lower ring to it the upper one being D shaped. I wish people would open their engine lids more, are they too embarrassed, or what? There were only two Squarebacks, both customized, and no Fastbacks :( The show grouped Type 3's with 411/412 (hint hint), and there was only one beautiful red 412 that is probably the best I've seen. I think it was part of the Berg Cruise crowd. The swap meet was rather dismal in that there were not many Type 3 items to be found. However..... good karma came to me and I found a '62 orange needle speedo for my Notch for 5 bucks!!! It's a little tarnished, but works. I would like to pass on my good fortune to any of the list folks that are in need of a '65 speedo, the one that I just took out of my Notch. Price is the same as I paid for my '62, 5 bucks plus postage and yes it works. I also found a horn ring that I think may be correct for my Notch, it's part #311-951-531. Of course I don't have the right steering wheel for my Notch either, but for now I'll be using a '66 one. Does anyone know if there are any changes to the steering wheels up to '66? <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Nathan Jacobsen '62 NB '69 SB M/T ICQ #38633286 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
