The model received a facelift in 1970, when a 115 mm (4.5 in) nose-lengthening added 1.5 cu ft (42 L) to the luggage capacity.[6] Volkswagen offered the Type 3 in a lower trim level in Europe, marketed as the 1600A trim level. In the US, and for 1973 only, Volkswagen offered two trim levels of the Type 3 Fastback in the USA, marketed as the Type 3 Sedan and Type 3 Basic Compact. The Basic Compact featured reduced content, including limited color and upholstery availability and without belt line chrome, clock, electric rear window defogger — and with painted frames around the vent windows, a black cardboard front trunk liner over the gas tank without a liner on the sides of the trunk or over the firewall, plain vinyl door panels without door pockets and rubber mats in lieu of interior carpet.[citation needed] While the Type 3 was a more modern design, it never reached the same level of popularity as the Beetle. As Volkswagen started to produce front-wheel-drive water-cooled designs, production ended in 1973 at the Wolfsburg plant, with production moving to VW's new Emden plant, which was later retooled in 1973 to build the first generation Passat (marketed variously, also as the "Dasher"). The Wolfsburg plant was retooled to build the Golf, which eventually replaced the Type 1 as Volkswagen's best selling sedan.On Jun-19-13 at 14:15:59 PDT, seller added the following information: Hi Redmond their has been three owners ,the last owner before me had taken the motor out of the car not sure why I think , he passed away .that's why I think the miles are so low. their is no rust and a very sound body and running gear, floor in great shape and not replaced. all windows and chrome in good condition, all gages work that I know of it is a California car and very clean and sound . the WV is Located in Cottonwood ca that's 18 miles south of Redding ca,and the Title is Clear,Car has had no accidents and no panels replaced.
