Good call on making this post a pinned topic. I think the car deserves it.

I had to look at it twice to realize that. Retrofitting the Porsche linkage, must be a tad tricky. A beautifully done engine in what looks like an exceptional Herbie!

I'd also do The Samba. Ready for this? 2/3 of eBay vehicle auctions are never completed. eBay charges on the final value, then you have to spend a bunch of time getting your fees back when the deal...
