The short-lived (1972-76) VW of Brazil SP-2. Handsome, if underpowered car.
Now collectible.

His original "Countach", sans aerodynamic/engine cooling vents, was a work of art, but that rear wheel cutout just "stops my eye", every time I visually scan the car.

What you can do with scrap crap, spare parts and a welder......it's a tilt so I can load the Harley. Low enuff to tow behind the 911 or the Yukon with a drop hitch. Thinking about making a stripped down tear drop that I can lower onto the frame.

The stuff ya do whilst bored. I did get my welding skills up a bit.

The sad part is the lowsided bike looked fine, although it did take a pickup truck home. Johnny's bike was totaled. He had always kept it in pristine condition and the crash was not his fault in any way. Such a shame.

Couldn't agree more. On top of dorking up the body, they put a V-8 in a 6 cylinder car (4-bolt wheel vs 5-bolt)....bad idea.
