Type 34 - Feb 64 - new project.

[ecik73]

This story got started many years ago, I saw it for the very first time in 2010, if not mistaken. It took me another 4 years to get the deal (it is a story by itself). Put it on a trailer, and took it home.

My envy increases with every image you posted. What does it need? The body looks really good.

Reminds me a lot of my old 64 T-34. In my signature is the complete build thread of what I had to do to it (it was in worse condition than yours). Have fun with it.

Dynosoar was the name of high performance VW parts sold by this company in the early 1970's (vwbrewer gallery)-

http://deanodyno-soars.com/parts.html
The company's drag race Beetle, built by company founders Dean and Ken Lowry, was among the top competitors in that era (timetodrag gallery)-

Soon after we put the engine into pieces. And we will be able to save it. This is so important, details soon

I wanted to make this post before 2021 YE, it made me so happy, since...

step by step:

1. the car finally manufactured Feb 11th 1964, left factory Feb 12th 1964 with chassis number 0342290, i.e. late Dec 1963.

2. when putting engine into pieces, by local masters Czarek and Pawel, the revealed engine number was 0448785, that is early Jan 1964 production.

3. body number is an interesting one, I have learnt it over the years from Lee Hedges, one of type 34 Masters. Body number is located in spare tire well on the right vertical wall above the washer bottle. Karmann stamped fresh consecutive body series each model year. So this 1964 is the 3669th t34's built in 1964 model year.

4. to match body with chassis, the only double check was again t34 registry, analysis revealed that the closest body/chassis numbers were: #0 342 083 has 3656.

To summarize, with Type 34 low production volumes, the car seems to be MATCHING NUMBERS!!!.

Look forward to your comments as well as... front and real axle numbers

Referring to chassis:
- it is 0342290, correct and matching;
- I have had a chance to get a good hunt for green panels, a box with good quality stuff has just arrived.

Exciting to see this Poland T34 get some attention! Can you get in-touch with me so I can change the T34 World database entry to the right owner's info & location? [email protected]

Nice to see the production numbers confirm a numbers-matching T34. What parts are you searching for? Do you know about the T34 World FB group? We have 1700+ owners that help each other, share parts, offer advice, and try to keep T34s on the road.

We have had a body inspection completed recently, as a preparation for sheet metal orders.
