1985 Porsche 911 Long-Term Road Test - Miscellaneous

Long ago and far, far way, guys used to take the chassis of a Volkswagen Beetle and put a plastic body of a Porsche on top.

It was called a kit car, and such things were all the rage in the 1960s and early 1970s, when everyone wanted to build his own cool car and there were a million dead Beetles to work with. After all, a Porsche 356 was just a re-bodied Beetle to begin with, wasn't it?

Oddly enough, guys are still buying Porsche kit cars, only now they start with Porsche 911 components. And I can't help looking at the Black Plague and thinking about disassembling it and bringing it back to life Frankenstein style as an Intermeccanica Speedster-6 as seen here.
