Interesting. Looks like a VW fastback that has had some modifications in the front. Those look like sugar scoop headlight to me. And they added a 911 roofline - those are definitely 911 rear side windows.
Here's a regular fastback: ![]() ![]() |

Wow, I kinda like it actually, though the front is a little awkward. Needs something to break up the Maytag-ness.

I wonder were the engine is located. Fastbacks were mid engine, but 911's are rear engine. I would assume it's mid because of the primarily fastback style body shell.

Looks like they are calling it a 913.

Doesn't look that bad. 911 roof is the trick.

Fastbacks were rear engine cars.
I had the station wagon type 3 with a stout little 1500 cc pancake motor with dual Solex carbs. Cool little car.
