Post by: vwcab on September 28, 2010, 08:06:43 am
Just wondering,but what happened with  the "das MUPPET RACER"?I remember it was for sale a  while back.
So,is it sold(complete or without engine),and who owns it now?
I always have liked it,so hence my question.

Did muppet racer ever get a feature in a magazine?

IMHO it set the trend for the rekindled interest in Gasser racers.

Volksworld? SuperVW?

IMHO it set the trend for the rekindled interest in Gasser racers.

Along with Anders Lien's Alien-Bug and Vegard's Maroon Baboon.

I read that feature over and over when that issue of vwtrends came out. Very cool car! There were other interesting cars that month too. Fabs, a picture of the cover, please.
