Yes. I almost bought one at an auction a couple of years ago.

I think I posted some pics here at the time.

I have seen more than one thread on doing that conversion, would be a nice vehicle to have, though I do not think I would push it to 130 though, even with the upgraded brakes and suspension. Maybe if you did something about the aerodynamics.

I seem to remember seeing the Poschagon thread, did not come up on a search, how far back does that go?

Surprisingly little. About 40,000 Swiss Francs—about $32,000 US at the time. Appeared to be in very fine shape. Very luxurious inside. etc etc.
