The classic write-up on Turbonique was Iowahawk's in 2006: iowahawk.typepad.com/iowahawk/2006/04/the_real_acme.html

Got your hybrid right here.

That's a quick-change rear end with the top spur gear turned around. Common as dirt around drag strips. One could use one to connect to a big upwind impeller.

Robert Design's 2021 show reel. I'll need cRiPpLe_rOoStEr's help on some of these Brazilian Domestic Market models, possibly a Saviero at 2:24, but what's the black sedan at 2:44?



edit:
I should seriously consider the fenders mirrors he uses on the Beetle; like Rossi's but up-to-date.

Chopped and stretched, the front was made from front fenders. He never asked about the hitch weight, but at least the battery and spare tire are beneath the kitchen.

Official Volkswagen Campervan 4-Man Tent



I am afraid that it would hold up even less than a modern Volkswagen, but if I was going to overpay for a tent, why not?! https://www.micksgarage.com/d/gifts/...---blue?loc=us

450x176x196 vs 398x155x187? I think it shrunk in the wash.

I noticed that I have had a picture of that teardrop in an unfinished state in my albums:



It was chopped and stretched. Imagine if it had the rear axle and fenders moved forward the 14" that dune buggies are shortened. It would be tear-droppier.

The times didn't seem to match the vehicles you were mentioning in that video.

Bad edit. It's a 2:44 video. The links seem to work, linking to 0:51 and 0:56.

People gave a girl with cancer a Beetle.

Does it come with free maintenance? Doesn't she have enough going on?!

Hate to say it but I will: that bug would improve your life in a very significant way also.

Hmmm my new meme: </sarcasm>
