Need some information on type III parts....

hukadeeze

ok, well I pulled these parts off a '68 squareback with the intention of selling them. Knowing that there have been a few owners before myself, and also not knowing much about air-cooleds, I'm skepticle of whether or not all these parts belong with this car. I want to be sure of what they are before I list them.

First were the tail light lenses.

This one came off the right side of the car:

This one came off the left:

Notice the lens within the lense on the right side. The left one doesn't have this. Is this standard, or does one of these belong on a different year/model?

Next is the rear bumper. I was looking through pics of squareback bumpers and I saw some with and some without lights on them. Is this standard?

Last are the inside door panels. The panels that came off my car had cutouts for speakers. Did it come this way, or did someone cut it to install speakers?

Any help would be greatly apprectiated, and if your interested in any typeIII/squareback parts, I will be posting quite a few in the classified section over the next couple weeks.

Don't know what you're talking about on the lenses. The bumper is from a 68-69 I believe Confused

reverse lights were added those years. the speaker holes were cut out by some owner, and are not standard. The bumper looks pretty good. Got any more pix of the whole thing?

Yeah, here they all are. There is a little rust on the inside, paint overspray, and one of the lenses is broken, but other than that its in great condition.

That clear piece falls out of the lenses sometimes. I have a pair like that too.
Do you have the front bumper also?? I might be interested in the pair if the price is right.
