Type III Enthusiasts,
Below you will find two lists. The first is the list of options for the
Type III Squareback, Fastback, and Notchback. The second is the same list for
the Type III Ghia. In both cases I have attempted to copy the contents of the
microfilm exactly. There are some clear errors in the original, but I felt it
was important to document the official wording "as was" before trying to
clarify them. I have made an effort to preserve the exact word wrap and
spacing as in the original, so please don't complain to me if things don't
always seem to be in the best phrasing--unless, of course, I have not
accurately copied the original.
Comparing the lists yields some information. Note, for example, that the
entry for M248 on the first list is probably incorrect since, in general, the
M numbers appear to have the same meaning on the two lists. This, however is
an assumption on my part.
Additions and clarifications are welcome, but I request that they be as
complete as possible. Information from earlier parts list books would be
particularly useful. Those who have access to the VW microfilm are encouraged
to proofread my work and send me their corrections. Eventually I would hope
to have two lists: an exact copy of the microfilm and a more complete and
corrected list of Type III M numbers.
This list may be freely distributed as long as these notes accompany it.
