I see a 500 dollar car. Lol

That is a VW Thing with a Porsche sticker on it.

You notice there are no decent photos and no mention of the VIN

Curious vehicle. Weren't they all made in Mexico?

I think the guy in the video is exagerating some things for dramatic effect, particularly the distribution effort in the U.S. during the 1970s. His facts are really distorted. He should have perhaps read Excellence Was Expected, or some other Porsche book so that he doesn't make himself look so stupid on Youtube.
