1972 VW Volkswagen Type 3 Fastback Automatic Orange!
Prepare to make everyone smile wherever you go with this happy little car! This most vivacious VW stock color was referred to as clementine.
Here's a chance to own a rare, clean, fully-automatic Fastback that has been loved and doted on like a family member since its adoption.
To provide a little color, (as if it needs any more color), I purchased it from the original owner; a sweet grandmother named Edna in Reno, Nevada in Jan 2006 with an astounding 15K original miles on it at the time. She has been my daily driver ever since. It now has 70K original miles on an unrebuilt 1600cc engine.
The Fastback has always been garaged and serviced regularly. It has never sat. All service records will be provided. Straight, clean, reliable, and eye-catching. ISP West knows this car well and can speak to it.
