 |
|
I know there are so many Type 3 Buffs who have been asking the same question: How many Type 3's (Notch, Fast and Square) are left in the World?
It may be hard to know the exact number, but, hope we can try to know it.

I have one and I know of 3-4 running in Colorado Springs.
So, since you have 1, I'm going to say
More than 6

It's a proven fact that there are more than 50 and less than 50,000,000.

WHAT ABOUT THE TYPE 34???  Weasel. 
Seemed to me that when I was a young buck in the '60s and '70s that Type 3s actually outnumbered Beetles. Squarebacks, in particular, were everywhere.

Hmmmm., I NEVER remember seeing a T3 in my youth, but Bugs were everywhere. Then again, I grew up in the back woods, Chicago.
