I would never buy one but you did a video in Texas about Honda Toyota SUV's and in the background is a 68 Squareback. Can you share any thing about those cars?

One of the Volkswagen "Type 3" cars, there was also a fastback version sold in the U.S. and a notchback sedan in Europe.

These cars had electronic fuel injection starting in 1968, the Bosch "D-Jetronic" system. This used a transistorized analog "brain box" for fuel management. The D-Jetronic was a descendant of the failed Bendix Electrojector of the late 1950s - Bendix sold the patents to Bosch, who further developed it into a working system.

A lot of those cars had the fuel injection stripped out and replaced with carbs because mechanics did not know how to properly service the injection system.
