Here is what the Google translater says... The header says... "VW - Porsche 356, Bj.1944 with airbag" (AIRBAG?  ??) And.... ""You are bidding on a VW - Porsche 356 with VW chassis bucket Bj 1944, with the Porsche 356 body, whether the body is original Porsche and what year it is I can not say exactly, the side airbag is present, the vehicle ...."" This was the most interesting note, a comment on the bottom.... "What material is the body made of? Can you give me the number of motor. It seems to be the very rare car Berlin Rome was lost. This "could" be a prototype 1944, created during the height of WWII.. Uh yeah a bit rare perhaps. |

This "could" be a prototype 1944, created during the height of WWII.. Uh yeah a bit rare perhaps. And now for some human interpration (don't forget the Germans visited Belgium twice for 5 years so we have some feeling for the language  ) Header says: 1944 Porsche 356 with registration papers!, the Bucket is indeed exactly that, a kubel or kubelwagen. So the chassis is that of a wartime VW car. And this is/was the Berlin Rom car: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_64 I seriously doubt it is the same car. |

When I consider the location of this car and the overal shape..there is just simply one conclusion. I guess it is a self built 356 clone, that was built during the times of DDR or GDR for all english speaking guys. Its not that unusual that a kübelwagen chassis survied war and was used for building something else. So maybe a really handy guy on the wrong side of the german wall built his own 356.
But if any porsche freaks know better..!?

What is wrong with this one? It has a mid mounted SBC and was built for under $2000. It was featured in Grassroots Motorsports. |

It's hard to discuss taste, I should know, I'm the one defending the beauty of the Pink Lady, one of the raddest bugs ever built. But still, I think all of us can agree this is one ugly bus! However cheap it was built and whatever technical stuff was done to it, it could have been hit once or twice with the beauty-stick, that would not have hurt.

LOOK AT IT...................EVERYTHING IS WRONG WITH IT Shhheeeessshhh! And don't bring up anything about taste, because if you do , you don;'t have any. As a matter of facts the idiot should have saved the 2000.00 and scapped it for a few bucks, saved their time and drank a lot more beer |

That bus a complete POS before it was turned into that. The title of this thread is worst VW ever not worst looking VW. There is no way that bus can be considered in that group. It is a lot faster then a stock bus which means it is awesome. Performance is everything.

Probably it would be even faster without those remains of a Bus attached to it. I don't know if this Bus was a piece of shit before (maybe so, because " Even the trademark VW nose logo was missing"). All I can say that it is terrible now. But if someone have fun with it then it's OK. For him. I guess. |
