Vehicle 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.
