1968 Volkswagen Type 3
Classic VW styling meets modern performance with this unique 1968 Type 3, finished in bold Red and powered by a Subaru 1.8L water-cooled engine.
The engine shows only 40,000km and is paired to a Volkswagen 4-speed gearbox with a custom exhaust, delivering a distinctive driving experience. Stopping power comes via upgraded disc brakes, while handling benefits from a 1974 Volkswagen front-end conversion. It sits on 15x6 alloy rims with new tyres, ensuring it’s ready for the road.
Inside, the car is fitted with bucket seats and matching harnesses, adding to its sporty, track-inspired feel. The large aluminium radiator keeps everything running cool, making this build practical as well as powerful.
The Volkswagen Type 3 has long been admired for its quirky design and versatility. This example takes that spirit and combines it with Japanese reliability and performance — a fusion that makes it stand out whether at a car meet or on weekend drives. With its custom touches, it’s as much about personality as it is about performance.
