1970 Volkswagen Type 3 Fastback Automatic at No Reserve

This 1970 Volkswagen Type 3 fastback is finished in Clementine over white and plaid upholstery and is powered by an air-cooled 1.6L flat-four paired with a three-speed automatic transaxle. Equipment includes dual carburetors, KYB Excel-G dampers, front disc brakes, 15″ steel wheels, chrome bumpers, a cabin heater, and crank windows. Acquired by the selling dealer in 2026, this Type 3 shows 59k miles and is offered at no reserve with a 2024 service invoice and a clean Michigan title.

The body is finished in Clementine (L20D) with areas of patina and blemishes. Exterior details include a driver-side mirror, bright trim, quarter vent windows, pop-out rear quarter windows, quarter panel vents, and chrome bumpers.

Body-color 15″ steel wheels wear bright trim rings and chrome VW-stamped hubcaps, and are mounted with Continental and Westlake tires. The suspension features KYB Excel-G dampers, and braking is handled by front discs and rear drums. The brake master cylinder and brake switches were replaced in 2024.

The front bucket seats and rear bench were retrimmed under previous ownership in white vinyl with plaid cloth seating surfaces. Appointments include a cabin heater, crank windows, and replacement black carpets.

The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 100-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and a fuel-level gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 59k miles.

The air-cooled 1.6L flat-four features dual carburetors and an aftermarket exhaust system. The fuel level sending unit was replaced in 2024.

Power is routed to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transaxle. Additional underside photos are presented in the gallery.
