Yesterday while I was walking the dog I saw a '98 Saveiro, from the last year with the square (Fox) bodystyle.

I'm pretty sure it's a Porsche. Electric front-wheel drive. I like the barrel-back body.

Lohner-Porsche Elektromobil, which also had 4WD versions. Its weight is higher than some modern American trucks, mostly due to the batteries. |

One of the most beautiful Beetles I've seen lately. This one is a '76.

Missing the railroad bumpers, or was that not a requirement for your country?
Actually looks like a big window 72 with changed out parts now that I studied it.

These were never mandatory here, but they used to be a quite popular accessory for older ones.

It's titled as a '76, but due to the popularity of the Beetle here it's not unusual to find some mismatching accessories and parts from other year-models once parts for newer models became easier to source. |

This is pretty amazing. VR-6, 2-speed Powerglide, Ford 9" rear. The engine block is filled with 'concrete' (possibly water glass?). The oil is pre-heated to 180° but at the end of a run the block temp is 150°??? 16 volt (overdriven) electrics, Methanol fuel so no intercooler is needed.
The last two minutes is his wife's car. Worth it for the right tail light.
