The VW Thread.

ok, how about something like this:

Probably my favorite Outlaw right now. I want one so bad but the prices keep skyrocketing.

I HAVE A RAGING ERECTION RIGHT NOW. GODDAMN LOOK AT THIS SONBITCH ITS FUCKING MASSIVE.

Just an FYI.

While this car was at this dealership, I would walk down every other lunchtime and look at it. This place has an amazing collection of rare 50s/60s Aston Martins, Lamborghinis (x2 Miuras!), 250 Ferraris, a Daytona, etc. It is a field of motherfucking dreams.

The red Mk1 above on Volk rims is also uber hot

Fuuuuuuuuck...

















And what I hope mine looks like one day:

I'd rather see a proper classic rescued, rather than left a pile of junk.

I'm all for sleepers and having kick-arse mechanicals under a shabby body, but that shell isn't shabby - it's junk.

"A little bit of time fixing the body"? :rofl:

I agree with Farbin completely.

[Iain]

it was found that way, and the money was put under the car, not on the outside, what's wrong with that?

So spend a little bit of time fixing the body so it's not completely fucked? A 356 is worth saving.

Ah man that's serious! My dad had an engine rebuilt in his 73 superbeetle about 15 years ago, and 500 miles after the build one of the fuel lines leaked on the engine and the whole thing burned. The place that rebuilt the engine should have replaced the lines but didn't, and accepted no responsibility.

this makes me sick

X2. It's lazy and a fucking travesty that one of the best-looking Porsches ever has to wind up looking like that. There's "rat" and then there is "junk". he could have done a thousand other things to make it ratty AND presentable.

I like rat rods, but save that rusted shit for old cars that can't do anything except chuck skids and make a lot of noise.

This is what comes to mind when I think, vw, after owning a 92 jetta and 99 passat for about 3 months for each. Never again.

[Jand3rson]

See, I think that's badass.

[jackbenny]

Why? I'm sure they didn't do that to it. They probably got it like that.

But if it runs, drive it! Not everyone has the money to do a full resto to a Porsche that old.

If I remember correctly, it was done by a kid who works at emory motorsports. The shell was leftover, rusty and bent up but underneath it is an unrusty, very set up 356. I thought it was a pretty slick way to keep one on the road.

[Farbin Kaiber]

Imagine the life that car was having in someone's yard. Now it is immortalized in the hoodride lexicon.
