Everything has its price  . I am a die hard bus guy so this odd ball t-3 is going to be a challenge learning. Right now I am just looking for parts. This is sort of like barndoor busses in terms of parts finding. VERY tough.
The only issue from keeping it driving is f'd up wiring. Had a hot wire melt down. PO tried to fix but made it worse. Need fuse block, turn signal switch, and a few other electrical gizmos. Horn relay, foglight relay.
In the trunk there are no horns or boot but instead a factory blanking plate????
Almost zero rust. matching #'s (I was told). Engine never out??,95% complete, and I believe 104K on odometer.
Are there any pics of an OG interior?? The back seat looks like a ribbed corduroy look while the door panels are a smooth leatherette???
Sorry for the ambush of ?'s but there isn't alot of info out there on these.
MORE PICS IN GALLERY

I'm kind of restoring a 64 myself, and know someone who is looking for a T-34.
I know your pain as far as looking for parts. The pickings are pretty slim, unless you know someone, and even then you might not find what you're looking for, as someone else already beat you to it.

I don't know if you need a front trunk seal or not, but both are available from ISP West. You might check with them for some parts as well, as Alex has some t-34 only stuff hiding there.

The hi/lo switch at end of lever melted from hot wire incident.
The front seats match the door panels but the rear seat is different material but OG. It is very similar to the aero papyrus used in sea blue busses. Looks like striped vinyl that resembles corduroy?? Maybe wrong rear seat?? |

That's a nice find! Looks like it'll clean-up fine and be an original preserved driver with a couple parts.
The early 6V fuse box is (as Scott said) a standard T3 part:
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=836038
Wiring Diagram for the 1965 is here:
http://www.leehedges.com/t34/puret34/wiringdiagrams/1965to66front.jpg
The interior panel color is called Parchment (a light silver-beige) and the interior panels should be monotone for 1965. The front seat color is called Aero-Gray and should have their center sections with the 1965-only leatherette with horizontal line pattern. The rear seat is made of this same material. It tends to disintegrate with exposure to the sun, so that explains why the front seat centers have already been replaced with a matching vinyl color. Monotone seat upholstery is correct for 1965, so it still looks OK as-is. Finding the original 1965-only material is really a tough task (even for T34 experts).
Pics below are on a Smoke Gray original M344 (RHD Coupe) in England with the Parchment interior.

I found the CAUSE of the electrical meltdown. The older gent who passed was elderly, hard of sight, hard of hearing, memory, etc. According to the family he had a tough time seeing and remembering the last of his years. He stilled fiddled with cars though.
He connected the grey wire in headlight bucket to ground. Causing some other carnage in the loom.
My question is what does the grey wire connect to as there isn't a parking bulb in the headlight like other VW's? |

i see by your gallery pics,.you have started to work on it.
just be careful,. as some parts are type 3,.. a bunch of parts are type 34 only.
i think the switch on the end of the blinker stalk is t3,. but the blinker stalk is type 34 only,. so be careful with it.
replacement parts are few in numbers.
good luck with it

| The only thing I am doing is stripping all the extra wires back to OG. That pile of wires is not my doing that is my undoing. I have boxes full of German wires I have stripped from cars. I will fix the wiring with German wires from beetles, busses, etc. I think I found the correct relays in my stash. |
