What's the story of your Type 3?
Found it listed on Samba for sale in 2024 in Australia. Ended up purchasing it a few months later, and had it shipped to California. It needed a ton of misc repairs, which I took care of right away. It now has a brand new balanced 1600cc engine with the stock side draft carb, and has a rebuilt transmission. Both have about 1,300 miles on them. Stock wheels were media blasted, then the blue was powder coated, and I painted the off white, then seam sealed the area in between the colors for a cleaner look. Tires are 175/50's in front and 185/65's in the rear.
