Title: Like Ghia's? here's a sleeper..

Just a little work, and a few  2CENTS.....

"Jochen Bader is a total Bad-butt. Long a proponent of juicing up classic cars with modern powerplants and seeing what'll happen, he (and his team at Bader Racing) took a GT3-spec Porsche 3.6-liter mill from a 993-era 911 and slipped it into a Karmann Ghia. By "slipped" we of course mean "engineered to within an inch of its life." The result is a 186mph screamer that still pretty much looks like it has something like 60 horses under the hood. The ultimate sleeper can be yours for around $260,000, if you've got 18 months to wait"

Thats one of the nicest I've ever seen! I'd love to get an hour or so in the drivers seat that must be a blast to do donuts in the thing!

It's pretty, but not worth the wait or the coin when this can be had for much less & right away. Trust me when I tell you that it REALLY hurts the Corvette / Camaro owners feelings when he gets beat by a toilet like this.  :icon_cheesygrin:

 -55] Well damn! Have to go yank some wheels off the youtube car now.  :icon_evil: JK
Not sure what happened to the links here ......... it was working.

On my website, there are 2 pages with videos. The 1st is video only & all old videos. The 2nd is the Vintage Performance Street Car Challenge page that has all of the new videos from this past weekend on it. If that doesn't work, you can also go to youtube.com & type my user name turbo68vw in the search to get the complete list of all of the videos I have posted on there. Enjoy!
