Neighbors had a Type 3 when I was a kid. It rusted pretty badly too, as I

Not sure if the woodgrain vinyl on the sides is factory or not.

Didn't realize it was such a basket case, I have always just seen it driving 
and have never gotten a close look at it. Probably overpriced unless these are

Definitely a turd, they were bad enough when new.

I never saw exterior woodgrain on one, but there were aftermarket interior 
woodgrain kits for dressing up the dash and door cards.
