A winner. Yep--can still get the classic buses brand new. Although they did quit selling brand new Beetles a couple years ago. about 70-80% of all vehicles I saw--cars, buses, large trucks, and industrial trucks, were VWs...I had a GOL, not GOLF, a GOL rental and LOTS of bikes--mostly Honda CBX 350s |
Those vans have a front-mounted radiator and a watercooled engine... I think they use an I4 instead of the h4 from vanagons, etc.
Would be a perfect setup for a diesel swap in a westy |
get kcpaz on the job. before you know it........subievan.

Huge VW plant in Brazil. They design and build their own cars.
The later version of the Fox was built there. The Puma was a Brazilian car, too. The Beetle line was moved to China. |

The Kelmark looks like a copy of the Puma. The front end especially is almost identical. I'll bet you DID see a Puma. |

Tcar, You are right. I was confusing the Puma with the Brasilia---The Brasilia is the one which came in a wagon and a fastback correct? It had a Squareback-type front end. There were tons of the wagon version running around--I remember seeing photos of the fastback version waaay back and remembering it being quite appealing. What I thought was a Kelmark had to be a Puma. :) I told my liason that if I lived there, I would have to have a Beetle. Here's another VW...this farmer had a gas-operated press mounted inside and was selling sugarcane juice---had the stalks in the back, three times through the "juicer" and voila....juice-obviously it was SWEET. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1224158843.jpg |

A search looks like much of the Brazil equipment went to Puebla, Mexico. |
The car on the far right actually looks a lot like the K70.. doubt that it is, but would be very cool if it was.
I used to have a 69 411L, 1968 production. Still have dads 56 oval window that he bought new at the factory.. e |
