Cool. Reminds me of the old Kommandeurswagen, which was a 4WD Beetle from the WWII era. I think there are three left in the world, and one is a daily driver. DOH! Another in the VW museum, not sure if there's a third. bmc :) Ben McCafferty ben@volkscafe.com Volks Cafe 1823 Soquel Avenue Santa Cruz, CA 95062 831-426-1244 http://www.volkscafe.com

Am I to understand that those type 2's are syncros?
when i was in Wolfsburg i saw a '78 westy syncro in their auto museum. yep - '78..aircooled 2.0L bus westy syncro.. 4WD with center driveshaft and both diffs. it had the full skid railing protecting the driveshaft like the vanagon syncros do too. i have pics somewhere.. most likely a prototype or one-off.. chris |
