Stumbled across this thing today and thought it looked familiar.

Description: '1966 Volkswagen Overdevest' built in the Netherlands for the Pon family (Dutch VW importers) on a VW Typ 3 chassis

After more than five years! Yes, it is a coupe built by G. Overdevest in 1973 on a 1966 Volkswagen Typ 3 chassis. The Pon family connection is new to me, well done!

Checked the plate, originally it was grey and first issued in 1966. Apparently it has been exported in 1968.

Yes, I think it would have been an early Type 3, because it clearly has swing-axle rear suspension. Later models had a different, more sanitary layout. :)
