Volkswagen Type 3 Squareback (1968) for Sale in MI

This 1968 Volkswagen Type 3 Squareback is a well-preserved and highly usable example of Volkswagen’s classic air-cooled design. Finished in its original shade of Peru Green over an ivory vinyl interior, the car offers a distinctive vintage look paired with practical wagon versatility. The exterior presents well following a repaint in its factory color, complemented by chrome trim, early-style taillights, and pop-out rear windows. It rides on 15-inch steel wheels with silver covers and chrome centers, fitted with Michelin XZX tires for a period-correct appearance. Inside, the cabin features high-backed front seats and a rear bench upholstered in ivory vinyl, contrasted by a body-colored dashboard and dark carpeting protected by coco mats. Factory instrumentation includes a 100-mph speedometer, fuel gauge, warning lights, and an analog clock, along with a classic Pianola radio. The rear seat folds flat to expand cargo capacity, making the Squareback both stylish and functional. Power comes from a rear-mounted, air-cooled 1.6-liter flat-four engine equipped with Bosch D-Jetronic electronic fuel injection, delivering smooth and reliable performance. The engine is paired with a fully synchronized four-speed manual transaxle that sends power to the rear wheels. The car is also equipped with front disc brakes and an independent rear suspension for confident drivability. Recent servicing has included replacement of the spark plugs and accessory belt, along with a fresh oil change. Additional storage is provided in the front trunk, which houses a spare wheel and tool roll.
