Lately we have rarely published VW-Porsche 914, obviously not because we don’t like it but because of the specimens for sale. What we want to say is that lately the specimens around are either too expensive, or too rotten, or with an anonymous color match, but for this car the speech is different as it… Read More Sicilian burgundy: 1975 VW-Porsche 914 2.0
It is strange to think that these vans, mainly used in those countries where the climate was milder, were produced in the German region. This model is the most sought after of the T1 buses, called “Samba” because of its “21 windows”, born because the occupants of the vehicle, in a trip among the Alps,… Read More German blue: 1966 Volkswagen T1 Samba De Luxe
As we have already written several times, the beauty of many hand-built fiberglass cars is the story that leads to their construction, often obscure and full of missing parts. This shell was made by Bill Devin, well known in the field of car racing for having created bodies that fit to Volkswagen and Porsche chassis,… Read More Empty shell: 1957 VW-Devin D 295
We have often published kit-cars produced with fiberglass body built between the mid-fifties and mid-seventies, and among all those published this is perhaps the one we like most. This is the body produced by the Alken Corporation, founded in venice, CA, by some Aerospace Engineer. The seller, who seems to have done a lot of… Read More Restored rarity: 1958 Alken D2 Roadster
Are the Porsche pre-74s with six-cylinder engines too expensive? True, but there are alternatives like this 914-6. For heaven’s sake, we are not saying that the 914-6 are cheap indeed, in recent years these cars have had a dizzying rise in prices because someone has realized that, in fact, these are Porsche in all respects… Read More Arizona red: 1970 Volkswagen-Porsche 914-6
We know that today these are considered Porsche in every aspect but always remember that, at least until 1972, to buy one of these you had to contact a Volkswagen dealer. In any case, here we are faced with one of the 3,351 examples of 914/6 built and, more importantly, it is a car matching… Read More Minor fire: 1970 Volkswagen-Porsche 914/6
We close this 2018 with a bang thanks to this car which, during its life, has seen many things that probably nobody should ever see. It is in fact a KDF Type 60, or a beetle (for the profane model like us) produced during the Second World War and in this case adapted for the… Read More War veteran: 1943 Volkswagen KdF Type 60 “Red Cross”
Even though we perfectly know that many people don’t care about classic cars like this one, our goal has always been to bring to the light some obscure build which you rarely see around. Fiberglass cars have been an important chapter during the decades which span from the mid fifties to the mid eighties, and… Read More Gullwing: 1965 Sportsland Concept One
That’s clear that this Volkswagen-Porsche 914-6 is a clone of the most famous car purchased by Jagermeister and used to advertise their company around the tracks. What many don’t know is that that car drove a fastest lap of 9:32.7 minutes on the Nürburgring Northern Loop during the 1972 German Grand Prix. The fastest 914 ever.… Read More Bitter orange: VW-Porsche 914/6 GT Clone
The WWII period Beetles are actually the Holy Grail for every Volkswagen collector: this one (chassis #033588) not only belongs to that period, it is actually said to have been delivered new to the staff of Hermann Goering, probably the most powerful person in Germany after Hitler himself. The seller says that the story of… Read More Nazi past: 1944 Volkswagen Typ 82E
