Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this 1962 Volkswagen Notchback
for your consideration. The Volkswagen Type 3 was introduced in
1961, designed to offer a more spacious, comfortable alternative to
the beloved Beetle while maintaining the same air-cooled engine
setup that had made Volkswagen a household name. In Europe, the
Type 3 was available in three body styles: the Fastback, the
Squareback, and the Notchback, the latter being the most elusive
for American enthusiasts. Though never officially imported to the
U.S., the Notchback became a highly sought-after model for its
distinct design and classic Volkswagen engineering. It was the
answer for those who wanted a compact car with more style and
sophistication than the Beetle could offer, yet with the same
dependable underpinnings.
This 1962 Volkswagen Notchback is a true showstopper, finished in a
striking Candy Apple Red Metallic that gleams from every angle.
Beneath the sleek exterior, it's powered by a spirited 1500cc motor
mated to a 4-speed manual transmission, providing the engaging and
lively driving experience vintage Volkswagen fans cherish. The
mechanicals have been fully sorted during a comprehensive
restoration, and the car now boasts fewer than 800 miles on the
odometer since completion.
The attention to detail in this restoration is evident throughout.
The exterior's exceptional fit and finish give it a museum-quality
appearance, while the period-correct 5-spoke polished alloy wheels
add a touch of elegance to its sporty stance. Inside, the grey
plaid seats offer a nod to classic European style, while the wood
steering wheel adds warmth and vintage charm to the driving
experience. The functioning gauges and crisp instrumentation give
confidence that this car is not just for show, it's ready to drive
and enjoy.
With its rare body style, meticulous restoration, and top-tier
presentation, this 1962 Notchback is a standout example of the
Volkswagen Type 3 lineage and a must-have for any collector or
enthusiast. Please call or email with any questions or for
additional information.
