[T3] Barrett-Jackson just sold a $78K notchback!

[Soren Jacobsen]

Looks like you forgot the link: https://www.barrett-jackson.com/scottsdale-2025/docket/vehicle/1964-volkswagen-type-iii-notchback-coupe-285632

Flaws (or...different preferences?) spotted:
- car is lowered ;)
- front apron
- window cranks
- relay hanging down under dash
- brake pedal stop position
- carpet instead of rubber floor mats
- bogus plasticky liner in trunk
- carpet in trunk
- no rear engine support (IRS conversion, maybe?)
- everything in the engine compartment, really ;)
- missing felt around sunroof opening
- having a sunroof in general
- black window squirter nozzle
- wipers
- shoddy fender beading, particularly the rears
- rear reflectors are some generic replacements

What else?
