DESCRIPTION
The 1973 Volkswagen Type 3 Fastback marks the final year of VW\'s sporty compact line. This model features the largest engine of the series, a fuel-injected 1600cc flat-four that delivers solid performance. The metallic white paint job accentuates the Fastback\'s clean lines, while 15-inch steel wheels with chrome VW hubcaps roll on 185/60R15 tires. The streamlined body showcases the model\'s aerodynamic design, a key selling point for the Type 3.
Inside, the Fastback features a tan vinyl interior that complements its white exterior. Bucket seats provide a comfortable ride, while the original door panels, though showing their age, retain their vintage appeal. Brown carpets, highlighted by darker brown floor mats, add a subtle contrast to the cabin. The headliner maintains the integrity of the period-correct interior. The front trunk area is carpeted to match the interior, housing a spare tire, while the rear trunk reveals the orange factory finish, giving it an authentic touch.
Powering this Type 3 is a 1600cc flat-four engine equipped with electronic fuel injection, delivering reliable performance through a four-speed manual transmission. The engine bay remains largely stock, showcasing its well-maintained mechanical components. Independent suspension at both ends ensures a balanced and comfortable drive, while front disc brakes provide confident stopping power. An aftermarket muffler adds a touch of personality to the exhaust note, enhancing the driving experience.
