cars like these haven't been made lately...

[nicolas]

hey i took the time to scan in some features of volkswagen greats. it's the wellknown and totally wicked Keith Goss chop top and a maybe equally stunning 67 from Jim Logudice. two cars that are done way back and don't exactly match the hotvw drawing of a callook, but sure are in my opinion. and what i really like are the larger porsche 5 spokes. wider tires, but very classic.
the thing i like so much about them is the fact that both these cars look the closest to a porsche as a bug can and may get for me.
but did the red one have it's interiour done later on and win bug in? (brad uphostery, beige fatbiscuits).

so true nicolas!! these things play around in my head too.

but right now, i cannot believe! that last feature! that car rocks, never knew it was featured.
could please hook me up with a neat high resolution scan so i can print it out and add to the archive i've built up thanks to fabs.

let me know, mijn email staat in mijn profiel!!

Nicolas,

Thanks for sharing.......great articles.

nicolas, you're mistaking the red 67 with mike billings's red 67. that's the one that won bug-in.

ah yes indeed it is a different car... but that has the same feeling as well. it also looks like a porsche and the wider wheels make it corner as well,look at the pic of the Goss shop, i love it. i think Jim is inches away of heading that direction with his car. because the metallic blue one he likes so much has that look as well, maybe the back tyres are just a bit too small for my taste, but defenitely in this idea or concept.
i will try my best to scan things a little better for you.

ah yes indeed, i put A and B together and mixed things up in my mind.

so how do i make 125hp with a 1700?  , i like the idea of the W110 in it.

it also looks like a porsche

And a bug looking like a Porsche, is a (early) California looker...
