sounds like I'm the old guy here over 70 and some how I seem to remember seeing the Porsche syncro in the back round of shots in a winter race some where in the mountains of europe
think they were used as support vehicles I was impressed enough to watch them haling ass on the winter mountain roads at quite high speed
this was a long time ago and at that time my only VW buss experience was driving an old type one camper 36 hp in the mountains of Mexico from Sioux City Iowa to Acapulco and back up hill pull out the throttle ( the curse control of the day ) in 3rd or 2nd gear front window cranked open for air often door open for air and a cold beer in hand got passed by bicycles
now have an 87 westy subaru powered and much to do on it when I have time or rather make time
