I picked up some early type 3 parts this morning, and most of these I can't use myself, so they are for sale. I'm afraid I don't know what these are worth yet, so I'm still in the process of valuing them. If you're interested, you can get your word in now, however. 2 '66-7 wraparound front turn signal lenses and housings (L & R), used but in nearly perfect condition. Good chrome, good plastic, no rubber. 2 extra wraparound front turn signal lenses, '66-7. Beautiful condition. 1 early type 3 gas cap, for inside the trunk, used but very good condition. Metal is dull, oxidized, but not dented and it's clean and with a very good gasket. 1 rear tail light lens and housing from a '68, works for 61-68 Red lens in near perfect condition. Chrome in near perfect condition. 1 rear reflector housing (long style) w/lens. Chrome is in fair/good condition w/a couple of bubbles. Reflector is Hella, but it appears to have been fastened in some odd way; center bolt is gone. Reflector looks perfect from the outside. 1 Sealed beam headlight holder and adjustment ring. I have many of these, but this is the ONLY one I've ever seen which did NOT have a stainless bulb retaining ring. Would this be a very early version? It is slightly different in construction from the 68-73 style that I'm used to. 1 early driver's side (left side) outside mirror. Used, but chrome and mirror are excellent. This is a rather small mirror, pre-68, but I don't know how early. This one has a 2-screw adaptor for cars which didn't have the threaded boss in the door, but the adaptor would unscrew, leaving this just right for direct mounting. I was told that this was a type 2 mirror, but I think I've seen adaptors like this on Ghias. Did early type 3s come like this, too? 1 filler panel for cars that didn't get a clock. This one is in rough shape, so I'll probably just keep it out of curiosity. Now, here's the quiz piece. He included a part which he says is a type 3 part, but I've never seen or heard of one like this before. If it is really a type 3 part, then it is the LH half of the dual carb air cleaner. The catch is that this one is PLASTIC. It looks exactly right, but all the ones I've ever heard of were metal. This one does NOT have a hole for the carb center bolt; instead it has a catch on the left side for some kind of spring clip. Anyone know what I've got here? This fellow also had some NOS Type 34 front TS lenses, but I didn't get a good look at them, so I can't tell you exactly what they look like, or what he might want for them. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
