Don't worry about it. While your post did turn out to be "non-type 3", your 
intentions were honorable and getting good parts into worthy hands is always 
a good thing to do.

There were both type 1 (beetle based) and type 3 Karmann Ghias. The latter 
are known as type 34s here because they were type 3, subtype 4. Type 34s 
were never sold new in the US, while the type 1 Ghias were sold here for 
their entire production range.

On top of this,while not all that many type 1 Ghias were made (for a 
production car) there were probably 10 times more type 1 Ghias built than 
type 3 Ghias, so the type 34s are really quite rare, no matter where you are 
in the world.
