'65 Volkswagen Fastback

Description[]

The Volkswagen Type 3 is a compact car manufactured by Volkswagen from 1961 to 1973. Officially marketed as the Volkswagen 1500 and 1600, the Type 3 helped to diversify Volkswagen's product range while retaining the brand's trademark engineering features. The Type 3 was available in a number of different body styles, including notchback, fastback and station wagon, nicknamed "Squareback" and sold as the Variant in the United States. Although the car featured the Beetle's wheelbase it was conceived as a larger car with its larger engine and increased cargo and passenger space. 2,542,382 were produced.

This is a depiction of a 1965 Volkswagen Type 3 Fastback converted into a funny car. It features a body hinged from the front to expose a rollcage and other modifications.
