Thanks Ev, what about the rears? what years (how early) do the 68-69 style go back.
I have some rears and some bullets for sale and had an enquirey about how early they would fit. I am not that up on type 3's
but I am sure glad you are! |

Hey Ev-
Didn't home market ("N") models ALL have bullets and stubby rear reflectors- and weren't they painted body colour? I know they had the high- up side markers, no chrome brightwork (except for bumpers) and no clock. |

The 68 & 69's also have a built in reflector on the sides (add in piece) of the tail lights. I don't know about the 66's and 67's though. _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof

N models were not only for the home market, they were just for the cheap people to buy.
Yes, N models are like 61-63 models with no beltline chrome, painted rear reflector housings, etc..
They also have Beetle-style short arm rests, no clock, no variable wipers(!), no passenger sun visor, prop rods for the trunk lids, and a few other weird things. _________________ How to Post Photos

Okay so I here is what I have and the guy who wants to buy has a 65.... From what I gather the rears will fit but will not be "correct" ( if he is even worried about that I do not know) due to them being 68 model with the aforementioned reflector built into the lens.
and the bullets are probably not gonna work for his car either?http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/index.php?alert+200311241511496147 |

The front signals would work if he welded up the '65 holes and redrilled everything.
The '68 license light is just wrong for a '65. |
yeah I had jus tossed the pic of the license light in that ad... he is not getting on of them... |
