What is more important, whether a car is fast or it looks fast? We are confident that everyone has their own answer in mind, and that this car was designed to answer those for whom the second option mattered. In fact, when I was little and I saw the ads of these cars for sale,… Read More Fast look: Puma Coupè GTE 1600
Four years ago we published an article about a similar car, but unlike the first this one looks much more complete and “refined”. However, it is very rare to see for sale these kit cars produced in the 70s and, obviously, based on a Volkswagen Typ1 chassis (more commonly known as Beetle) which ensured maximum… Read More Old future: 1961 Sportsland Concept 1
These cars, universally known as “Buggies” had their golden age in the sixties and seventies and then fell into oblivion for about thirty years. The idea of building an open body in synthetic material to be connected to the Volkswagen Beetle chassis was by Bruce Meyers, an idea that has been successful as some sources… Read More Real deal: 1961 Meyers Manx
We agree that this doesn’t look like the best Typ2 from an aesthetic point of view, yet the seller claims that rust on this bodywork is minimal. In fact apparently the bodywork seems to be made of plaster, probably this is due to the overlapping of layers of paint given over the years (even by… Read More Chalk look: 1958 Volkswagen Typ2 Panel van
Yes, we know he is mostly known as “Beetle” but we like to play the part of those who know things from time to time, please forgive us. So this car has several very interesting features: the first, as the title says, is that it has only 4,700 miles driven new and that it was… Read More 4,700 Miles: 1977 Volkswagen Typ1 Cabriolet
A universal law that no one will ever be able to contest is: you never stop learning; we continuously verify it in our niche. In this case it is the discovery of a car which they did not know existed; ok you say, it is one of the many “Dune Buggy” inspired by the Meyer… Read More Italian psychedelia: 1974 Drag II by Greppi
The fabulous (and terrible at the same time) 70s were full of many automotive design ideas, and many of these ideas also came from small car manufacturers who produced aesthetic kits for different car models. This 914 is equipped with one of these kits which, we must say, apart from the huge rear wing, is… Read More Big wing: 1975 VW-Porsche 914
The history of Volkswagen during the Second World War and in the years immediately following is complex and has many dark sides or in any case little known if not by the greatest experts of the brand. One of these is the vehicle rebuilding program set up by the US army immediately after the war,… Read More Commander’s bug: 1947 Volkswagen Typ 1
For collectors and simple enthusiasts of classic cars there are not many things more exciting than cars modified by small, and often unknown, manufacturers, even if they are not even manufacturers in the strict sense, but only enthusiasts who have wanted to build their own visions. In this case, confirming what has just been written,… Read More Stranger things: 1959 Volkswagen Typ 1 one-off
That the large family of classic Volkswagen and Porsche lent themselves well to hot-rodding is now a well-established thing, although not so much with regard to the KG. First of all because the Karmann-Ghia built are, in numerical terms, superior to the more famous Porsche 356 (but nothing compared to the cousin Typ 1 Beetle);… Read More Lo-lights, hi-power: 1957 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupé
