I'm driving the Type 34 thing, not the Corvair thing. |

Wonderful color !
Is it possible to know the VW code for that "egg shell", or "sand", or "beige" or whatever-you-might-like-to-call-it color ?
I wouldn't mind painting the roof, pillars and rims of my 1963 1500 with that color ! |

Drove it for real today for the first time in 6 years.
Just from My house in Los Osos to Morro Bay, but got a good idea of how sweet it's going to be. Still stomping my left foot into the carpet looking for a clutch, but I'm getting used to the automatic. The car is very smooth and quiet - and fast! Wish I could say I'm done, but still a bunch of little things to deal with, but it's almost there - and I can drive it!

Great achievement Tom! I envy your electric sunroof (and the scenery)... |

I was recently contacted by a man about forty minutes from my house in response to a VW parts wanted post I had up on Craigslist. His father "did" VW's throughout the 70's and 80's and after the father passed the man wanted to see the parts go to good homes. I drove out there and it turns out he had some VERY interesting things on the shelves of his old wooden boxcar/storage unit.
I picked up some early Type 3 stuff and some Ghia stuff for members of my local club as well as some early Beetle bits for my ongoing vert project. I pointed to a seat he had in a pile of Type 4 interior stuff and asked him about it. He had no history on it and didn't know much about it. I thought it was early Type 3 but upon researching it have found it looks like a Type 34 seat. OG upholstery is in good shape, cardboard backing is great, even the padding and chrome spear is intact.
Can someone verify that this is indeed a Type 34 passenger seat?
Also, I'd like to post it on the classifieds but can't find any comparables to figure out a price. Any one able to give me an estimate on what I should price this at?
Thanks for your help! Pics below.

It IS a Type 34 seat !
I have the same in my April 1963 coupé.
In a better sahpe, though.
I had them restored last year, keeping as much of original stuff as possible.
