AI Listing Summary
This 1971 Volkswagen Type 3 Squareback features a replacement engine, refreshed interior, and several modern upgrades. While it presents well with its red paint, custom roof wrap, and EMPI wheels, potential buyers should note the non-original modifications and the trip odometer's malfunction.
