well the gray car in question is a late 60s early 70s volkswagen type 3...sharing many components with the beetle...(type 1 was the beetle, type 2 was the van)
the more popular bodystyles in india were the saloon and stationwagon type 3 called the "variant"

this 2 door has a sporty "fastback" bodystyle, and were relatively uncommon in india....infact this is the first im seeing!

variant



original display cut away saloon...neat!

Ah, happy memories, my parents had a type 3 variant (station wagon) for 7 years and did over 100000 miles in it. Never broke down except for a fuel pump airlock in Germany due to hot weather + heavy load

Accidental purchase, my dad went out to buy an austin 1100 but the dealer + maufacturer gave "attitude", this "then" oddball (world war two emotions) was available for a good deal which my dad snapped up!

hey guys dont know if this belongs here but my 2 cents . .

snapped this car in adyar (madras ) . . all i know is that its a really old DODGE . . . got a v8 under the hood ( suposedly ) .. . ]
anybody got any other information bout it ?/

[karlosdeville]

hey post the pics once more man...they havent come through...and v8s are relatively rare here cant wait to see them!

[jakesride]

sorry . . . try this

It looks like a Dodge Coronet to me. If it has a V8 under the hood, lets hope its the 440 cu.in. or the 426 Hemi.

[jakesride]

well , i wasnt able to peek under the hood . . . so not very sure
but there sure was a v8 badge on the side . . .


plus , judging by the registration , i would say bout mid 70s . . not sure though . .



the other pics (in detail ) come out too blurred . . sorry

[islero]

looks like a good candidate for a full fledged restoration with some good MOPAR poweer under the hood. Whose car is it?

[kastaway]

I really liked 1936 RR phantom Cool Pics bro

[jakesride]

absolutely no idea . .
just saw it parked on the roadside and clicked away . . .

doesnt look like it gets much action these days , cos as u can see , the tires are out and blocked using bricks . . . hmmm

Tarmat is a co. owned by the Varghese family (brothers), thay have a good collection of vintage cars in their Bandra residence. One of the brothers (popularly known as babloo) has a few vintage bikes too. They are parked in a lane between Popley Jewellers and Bhabha Hospital in Bandra (W), you can see them while passing by.

Has anyone in Blr checked out the vintage Ford's in Cauvery Ford's service center on Kanakapura Rd ? They are parked in front, but havent been able to check them out / take pics.

These pictures were taken at a vintage car rally a few years ago. Since this was a public event and many magazines published pictures of the event I am not blanking out the number plates
