1964 VW Type 3 Variant Squareback Showcar Hi-tech for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.1) based on 718 votes
 My very special Squareback is for sale:

It's a 95% finished project who won Best Modified Type 3 and Volksword Magazine Special Award at Bug Jam (not bad for an unfinished car).
A lot has been done and invested in it (I spent more than 25000 eur/ £21000. and countless hours/years!)
My loss your gain!
New owner will not have to spend much on it. as all the parts are here and nearly all the work is done.

Specs:
* Make and Model: VW Variant (Squareback)
* Year: 1964
* Color: Audi Europa Blue (pearl)

* Body mods:
Deseamed body. rounded doors and bonnet. sealed fenders.
Door handles. front turn signals (now inside lights). chromed trims. louvres under the windshield. vw emblem on the hood. licence plate place on the bonnet all shaved.
New rear valence. new dashboard with Porsche 914 counters.

* Wheels: RS Escort Ford 6. 5/15 polished
* Tyres:
-Front: 195/45/15
-Rear: 195/60/15

* Brakes:
-Front: 68 squareback discs redrilled for Ford (powdercoated)
Talbot Calipers (Bigger)
-Rear: 68 Drums redrilled for Ford (powdercoated)
-Dual master cylinder painted.

* FloorPan: Sand blasted and powdercoated.
* Front beam: from a 58 Type 1 with dropped spindles.
* Rear beam: changed for a 69 IRS model (powdercoated)
- axles and spring plates chromed. urethane rubbers.

* Gearbox: stock IRS 8X31 from a 1303ls convertible.
* Engine: Porsche 914 2l (GB engine code) stock. except dual 40idf carbs with shortened inlet manifolds(3. cm less) and short K&N filters
-4/1 stanless steel BAS exaust with Supertrapp muffler. nd a 009 with electronic ignition.
Brackets where made to support engine and gearbox. and oil filler has been shortened to fit under the engine door.

* Suspension: hydro-pneumatic suspension kit. custom made by Max's hydrolics UK .

* Accessories: Electric 1 piece windows. Dakota-digital remote control to open both doors. bonnet and raise and lower the car.

* Interior: Honda CRX seats. professionaly trimed with pale blue Alcantara fabric (like Suede). back seat modified and trimed with the same fabric.
Budnik steering wheel on a polished column. plus other billet parts (mirrors etc. ).

* Many. many new parts (too much to list! like NOS front fenders. bumpers. many mechanical parts. lights etc. ) and I'm sure forgot some mods.

New owner will have to finish the interior: carpet. headliner. pannels (alcantara fabric is provided for pannels to match seats) etc.

A full tuning is needed on the car. especialy on the front beam. suspension and dual carbs.
Otherwise. few other small stuff to do (like fuel gauge. etc. )
Nothing major. but this car is definitively not for a newbee.

The car is located in France (near Paris) but I will put it on a truck to deliver it worldwide (at buyer cost) or your welcome to pick it up. but please. don't waste my time.
I tried to sell it few years ago. and had just curious or out of money people.
This time I really want to sell it. so I'm asking a very reasonable price:
£10000.
This is barely half of what it costed me (without counting my time) and would cost you much more today to do the same kind of car.
A real bargain for a one of a kind RADical SquareBACK!

PS: contact me for bigger pics. if REALLY interested.
Thank you.

Hello,

Just came across your Squareback that looks pretty amazing. Based in Italy with already a T2 and a KG, I’ve been looking to grow my collection :) is it still for sale? You have already shown a good few photos but do you have any videos including one show the pneumatic suspension?? Would be nice to hear and see moving.

Many thanks and look forward to heart from you!
