Car Porn

Actually it was also sold in the U.S. in the late 60s, early 70s. It was first called the 411, then the 412. It used the same engine as the bay window VW vans, which, while an air-cooled, opposed flat 4 like that in the Bug, was a different engine. Rather than the doghouse fan shroud, it had a fan housing attached to the end of the crankshaft. I’ll try to find a photo and post for those that might not have ever seen one.

 

Here’s the comparison of the Type 4 (top), and Type 1 engines (bottom).

 

Thanks mate, learning allot about them lately.

 

I owned a 70 Squareback which was pretty cool, also vaguely remember seeing a few 412's around when I was young.

 

If only we knew enough back then to purchase one and hold on to it , not change it , not wreck it , not loose a race with it.
and we could retire happy on the money made on the sale price right now. it IS the most badd asss car and looks like a pin up in a bikini.

 

Type 3 is my favorite. I’ve had two Squarebacks and 1 Fastback. Fun little cars.

 

Steve is that a "Swat" raid armored vehicle ?

 

Yes, by the look of it and I want one!

 

That part sticking up on the top is to hide behind and shoot between the deep U .

It's a "go ahead and make my day" SUV

 

I also like the high water crossing exhaust. It's like a tank without tracks, no cannon- but a 50 cal at the ready

 

and then.... spotted some Friday....



thems need to make a comeback
but in like a 17" option

 

...^^^...

 

I wish I could like this one a hundred times!

 

That's the van they should've used on the A Team.

 

Saw a convertible CRX today.... cute lil booger
