1964 Type 3 Notchback For Sale

The car was painted once over the original Pearl White finish. The paint quality is nasty and the bodywork
was obviously home-spun, but underneath it all lies a very solid example with a good basis for a full restoration.

The car is very stock and original which is another great thing about it.
Never punked out by some kid, just one owner who drove the livin heck out of it.

I love these Notchbacks...such a fun shape and they drive so nice...almost feels like a "real car".

Lumpy bodywork to repair a slight scrape. The owner tells me that it was done with "fix-all" rock putty
the type of stuff you would fix a crack in plaster with. If this is the case, the stuff should come out of there very easy.

Front bumper has a slight frown on the drivers side.
Hood is not closed all the way in this image...it shuts well.

Good tires on the original rims with the proper original thin slot beauty rings.

More wonderful home done bodywork...I guess the old man did the best he could.
The current owner tells me that the guy was almost 90 years old and still driving the car.
You gotta love that!

Looking in the corners and underneath, the car is a super solid example.
Obviously spent its whole life in a dry climate.

Very straight and proper in here.

Rockers are very solid.

Floor pans look super solid as well.

Amber topped taillight lenses.

The "S" model trim on the plate light.
Missing the 1500 emblem that goes right above it.

If you squint a little she looks gorgeous...if you close your eyes...you can imagine her even prettier!

Good straight tail end.

Clean original trunk liner in back.

the rear deck.

Very stock 1500cc engine.
I asked the owner to sort through the service records to see how many miles are on the engine
he is due to get back to me with that info.

The engine seems to run pretty smooth and th car apparantly drives nice.

I noticed a little leakage around the oil cooler or perhaps one of the lines running to it...but thats about it.

Passenger side rocker and floor pan are also nice and solid.

Fender wells are super solid with no signs of rust going on.

Looking good!

Side marker lights.

A couple of very small bubbles forming on the tope edge of the passenger fender..and a couple near the headlight ring
but very very minimal and very common spots on Type 3's for this to occur.

Speaking of the headlight rings...they are the original SB12 Hella rings.
The passenger side has a ding but the drivers side is pretty nice.

Very clean original trunk liner up front too.

Not bad for the original fiberboard material.

Body tag and fuel sticker.

original jack still in it's holder.

very straight up front.

Some runs in the respray under the hood.

OK...you have seen the outside...lets look inside and see what is going on.

Sock dash, pad cracked, but everything complete.

Original door panels are in pretty nice condition.

Seats look pretty cool.

Original carpet is intact but worn.

Steering wheel.

98,749 miles on the odometer. According to the owner it has turned over once.

original Blaupunkt radio.

Aftermarket ignition switch and horn button added at some point.

Glove box is in good shape.

original carpet

Original headliner is pretty nice too.

A little messy on the rubber mats...but all original stuff.

The rear deck is a bit sun faded and a couple water spots...but it is still there.

The most amazing part about the car in my opinion is the documentation.
The car is a great base car to restore, and the documentation is the true icing on the cake.

In addition to the fat file folder full of service records, ALL of the original Importation documents remain with the car
from when it was brought over to California in 1964.

The tag that was in the windshield when the car sat on the dock, all the inspection and shipping paperwork

Receipts for the whole travel, even some receipts and claim paperwork for some minor damage that occurred during shipping.
I have never seen this much shipping paperwork on a car like this...it is awesome!

Correspondence back and forth...the pages go on and on.

Radio receipt for the Blaupunkt

the original European ownership book came with it too!

Wiring diagrams for the radio...

The manuals and guarantee paperwork for the radio.

And a super mint original owners manual...ever so cool.

So...she's a real diamond in the rough.
A phenomenal base car for a restoration, very complete and very solid, it runs and drives
as it is so you can have a little fun with it before doing the restoration work.
And the documentation that accompanies the car is simply amazing.
