The magazine article was a great find and a very interesting read. Its a bit sad to go through it as they really give it a poor review. I think much of this was due to a strong bias towards the American brands, but as an owner and lifetime fan of VWs, it got me almost a bit upset! Dont call my baby ugly!! Dont you guys realize how cool this is???
The automotive world is full of stories like this though...dream cars that never hit it big, but as time goes by they come back into view and the rarity factor makes them hot properties years later. In the early 70's the big winged Hemi powered Plymouth Superbirds were laughed at...now that is the coolest muscle car ever!
Probably folly to compare the two...totally different worlds, but Im real excited about it and am looking forward to bringing it out into the world for people to see and spread the word about the model. It is a pretty obscure one...and I have always liked the weird stuff best! I have a lead on what I think may be the original company that made them...they are supposedly now in Northern California and I am preparing to try to contact them and ask them if they have any knowledge of the history. I really want to know how many they made!
