These often had gas heaters, which scared the heck out of me with the thought of burning gasoline inside the cabin. However, they apparently worked quite well. -D On Oct 11, 2022, at 4:12 PM, Curt Raymond mailto:curtlud...@yahoo.com>> wrote: My mother had a type 3 fastback when I was born. Th

Neighbors had a Type 3 when I was a kid. It rusted pretty badly too, as I recall. On Tue, Oct 11, 2022, at 14:40, dan penoff.com via Mercedes wrote: > I had a Type 3 fastback and it was a fun car. The 411s (Type 4) were > rusty beaters most of the time, even back then. I never cared for them, >

I've seen this car around town for a few years at least. Definitely catches the eye these days. 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 overpri
