People on the list seem to own 62-65 Notchbacks. >What happened to the later ones? 1966 was the first year that the Type III was officially imported to the U.S. It was also the first year of the Fastback. Up through 1965, if you wanted a Type III in the U.S., you typically went looking for one to import -- and, at that time, the only two of the three main body styles that had been created were the Notchback and the Squareback. (O.k., so some dealers sold grey market cars, but, still, they were Squarebacks or Notchbacks.) For the 1966 model year, you could just walked down to any local dealer to get a Type III, so it was much easier. However, only the Squareback and Fastback were available. You'd have to go through comparatively more trouble to get a Notchback at that point. Cheers, -Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
