I'd love to have a Type III, my mom had one when I was born. The ones up here
all rusted out long ago...

Hah!
Sounds like me, the only one home after middle school while my big brother was
at baseball practice, sneaking his Beetle out of the garage and driving it
around the neighborhood. Learned how to drive a stick on my own. When my Dad
brought my first car home, a 1970 Ford Maverick 2-door
It drove like a Volkswagen.
My friend Dan Simmon’s dad worked for Caterpillar over in Germany. When their
family moved back to the states in 1973, they brought back a brand new red
squareback and a brand new red notchback. That was the second coolest garage
in our neighborhood right behind
They look cool for sure but other than scarcity - how do they drive/handle?

It’s more a matter of rarity than anything else. About the only way you could
come across one of these in the day was to have a military person bring one
back with them. I guess you could buy one and have it Federalized, like people
did with MBs at the time, but considering how cheap and common
I almost fainted when I saw the price. I was thinking $3K.

One of the few types I never owned. This and Type 4, or the 411, and the
Karmann Ghia, my unicorn at the time. Could never find one decent enough to
suit my tastes.
My favorite? My 1959 “barn door” van. That was a great ride.

That’s kinda retro cool. Could be Rentfro cool too. --FTSent from iFōnOn Mar 21, 2024, at 12:19 PM, Robert Rentfro via Mercedes wrote:https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/952599366588552/ Next to a Squareback, my fav VW. AZBob Sent from Mail for Windows
