A son's 38-year quest to find and restore his father's 1967 VW Type 3
(March 21, 2020) Lynn Pfenning spent 38 years chasing down his father’s beloved 1967 Volkswagen Type 3 fastback and four years restoring it to its original glory. The cousin of the Volkswagen Beetle was a major touchstone of Pfenning’s childhood. His father purchased the Brunswick Blue Type 3 fastback for $2,200 in 1967 after totaling his 1965 Volkswagen Beetle.
The car was no match for a cow he hit while traveling home from their grandparents’ house in rural North Dakota.
