That's a type 3 fastback, not a type 4.  Would be nice to know if there's a title for this thing or not.  For someone else, not myself.

If that was at about Springfield, I'd hate myself for getting it. I even have an engine I could put in. Just far enough away.

That's why I put the question mark in parentheses...  I don't speak VW very well.

Those look great when given the Baja treatment.

I want one of these to do evil to.  RWB look type evil.  I have to many projects so you are spared for now little Type 3 fastback.

In the American type 3 scene the notchback was coveted greatly because it was not officially imported to the US.  The reality however was that the fastback was less common worldwide as it was a US or North American model only as I recall. 
I always thought they were pretty good looking but prefer the squareback (wagon) variant,

If anyone has a line on a notchback that doesn't need the bottom 6" replaced lmk. I need a body for a tube chassis build but needs to at least have some of the heater channel present for reference.
