1971 VW Squareback For Sale
This is a Classic Volkwagen 1600 Squareback
Two Owner California Car, Original CA Title and Blue Plates, New Paint & Window Rubber. Super NICE!
This is a gorgeous 1971 VW Squareback for sale. With just 130k miles since new, this Volkswagen Type 3 Squareback has averaged just under 3000 miles per year. It's a well preserved car that has never been in an accident. The door gaps are great, and the car was recently painted and new door, window and hood seals were replaced so the car seals up nicely and looks very well finished. If you've been looking for an exceptional Volkswagen 1600, then you'll be very happy to find this beautiful VW Squareback we have up for auction.
A lot of work has been done to this vintage VW to keep it looking its best. The stock wheels have been powder coated and fitted with new tires. The car has new front brake calipers for the front disc brakes that came standard on this year and model VW. The fuel injection system has been completely gone through and operates like new. This is a rare, nice example of the spacious Type 3 VW squareback.
If you've never ridden in a Type 3 they are very comfortable and smooth driving. I personally had a Type 3 Fastback for several years, and I drove all over the Country in it. They are a nice, quiet ride and they can cruise at relatively high speeds with not much road noise. The Type 3 models are heavier than the more common type 1 VWs (Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Thing) and the ride is far different. There isn't really such a thing as luxury when you're talking about classic Volkswagens, but if you had to choose a model that skirts the upper atmosphere of luxury in a VW, the Type 3 would be the car.
I always enjoyed owning a Type 3 Volkswagen. Of course my favorite game to play was "where's the motor?!?"! I would entertain my friends in the following way:
"Want to see the motor of my VW?" I would ask.
"Sure!" would usually be the response. So I would open the front hood and exclaim, "Oh yeah. This is a VW. The Engine is in the rear. Silly me."
Then I would lead my unsuspecting observer to the rear of the car where I would open up the rear hatch, only to be confronted with more storage space!
"THERE!" I would exclaim. But I would follow up quickly with a "Wait a minute. There's no engine back here either!!!!" (The air-cooled engine is hidden under a rear panel and carpet so there is no evidence of the motor back there either.)
Perhaps this was just fun for me, but I love these classic VWs, and so do most other people. So whether it's playing "Where's the motor?!" or just showing off the classic design, there is a lot of fun to be had with this iconic 1971 Volkswagen station wagon.
