Title: empi baja 500/1000
Post by: speedwell on October 11, 2008, 16:10:58 pm
is it just the sister of the GTV or another gtv with different stickers
as i read it was a GTV with other parts and different stickers  ??? ???
why did they stop the name GTV ??? is it because empi   was reprimanded by volkswagen, is it for it , that he changed the name ???

any other info about the car, i know too that  the car was on empi motoring guide in 73

Fabian, by the time that catalogue came out, EMPI was owned by Lee Eliminators. GTV was under it's own trade mark, and I believe Lee Eliminators did not aquire it , for some reason.
