There were other levels of trim - may not have had pop-outs anyway.Ê If
there are small rear reflectors rather than wrap around that might also show
lower spec, but front wrap round indicators is higher spec.Ê When did US
start getting Type 3s officially - '66 model?

Hi everyone
It is me kelleigh I have stumbled onto a type 3 1966 square in a wrecking
yard destined for the crusher in two to three weeks. I have not enough
experience to determine whether or not this is an early 65 or a 66. The
steering wheel is different from mine it does not have the ring, and it has
not been cut. there are no front bumpers and the back hatch as far as i can
tell has no defroster. The front seats are gone and the floor pan is rusted
out and covered in rat poop. The hood is dented .The tunnel has got sound
dampening still on it and I have not manuvered enough to really accurately
see the numbers. I can how ever lift the trunk and see the plate. Back seat
was complete and I do not have a use for it is white, and although not
ripped may need to reupholstered. I am going to try to get all four fenders
and both doors which do not have door panels and I took the locks that are
seperate from the handle. The popouts are gone but there are marks from the
latches( The things that are mounted on the frame of the body where the
window goes) I got the turn signals for the front although one is missing
the lense. I am also removing the transmission on Thurs. the motor was
already gone, today I got all four tires and rims an AM/FM (NON saphirre, I
have one, but may want to run satallite radio) radio and the metal mounting
bracket, in addtion the pear shaped rear view mirror were already gone, I
needed an Antenna, and I also got that. Besides inside lights and the
complete thru and thru ignition with keys, and cover for the hatch hinges
and any glass that is left, am I covering all I should get? I got many other
little parts, and there is a completeÊ not cherry passenger side z bar arm
rest, ( currently have not one but 2) cost was only $25.00 Thank you for
your help everyone, Love to all (K)
