All right, I realize this car isn't a turbo but she gets a page on my "twin turbo" site because she is kinda sporty.  I bid on her at an Antique Automobile Club of America auction at Hershey on October 9th, 2004, and much to my surprise I won the car.  I may have been set up by some plants in the audience but that's another story.  I can't say she was a very practical car on which to bid since I now have a total of only six seats among my three different cars, lolam. 

The body is straight, and cosmetically the entire car is in very good condition.  She chugged a little bit at first but a new set of Bosch plugs and a right bank cam shaft took care of that.  She rides really nice, one finger on the wheel going down the interstate at 65 mph. This car loves to run fast, and was made for the Autobahn.  The hardtop is removeable and there is a brand new navy blue soft top in the boot underneath.   

This is a pic right after I drove the car home, with  the auction paperwork still stuck on the windshield.

Hardtop removed, ragtop in place.  4.5 liter, V8, fuel injected, double overhead cam, dual exhaust.   Car is heavy and   acceleration is "stately" off the line, but impressive from a 60 mph roll.  Lots of torque.

I think these lines are about as clean & classic as you will find in a two-seater.  I will upgrade to larger wheels if I can get the car in near perfect mechanical shape, first.

Made in Germany, made in Japan.  Wasn't this at one time the original "Axis of Evil?"  Where did they learn how to make such good cars?  And why the heck do we have such a hard time at it?
