[T3] 66 Squareback Now Mine

[Craigs List]

Jim,

I am definitely interested. There are two on the samba, but I have no idea
what condition they would be in. I trust you to sell me one that is tip top.

Ad far as the reverse light nose cone, I'm told that was taken care of when
this tranny was built. Is there a way tip tell by looking?
