I would say it's a 1966+ 1600 TL, sold in the US as Fastback Sedan. |

I can't see the rear window from here, so that's why I thought it might've been a Notchback. |

The shadow to the left makes me think the rear would be a notchback? There is not even the slightest suggestion I think that it is angled. Not conclusive but my thoughts. |

Looking through some old sales material it seems that the Type 3 cars were introduced on the US market for 1966 and came only as Fastback or Squareback. In the 1965 Full Line brochure they´re not mentioned and the 1966 brouchures for both Squarebacks and Fastbacks give the impression of introduction to the market. Here´s a sample from the Squareback brochure: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/lit/66squarebackbrochure_3.jpg |

1970 for the much larger taillights...I'm sure! |

Yes, it's a "longnose", colour the 1971+ "clementine" |
