Basically a Vanagon with a 3.2 from a Carrera, and some other goodies...

I have an idea for an engine swap now!

Im calling Bravo Sierra on that video. Thats not a B-32. Its a vanagon carat

B32 had 4 headlights the same size. Had a porsche badge on the body above the grille.




Rich...There were 10. The Porsche rally team pulled 5 vanagons off the line & installed the 911 drive train to serve as Pitwagens during the race. They wanted to be able to steal parts if necessary to get the rally car going should they not have a spare with them. Genius move actually.

As the story goes, Mrs Porsche went on vacation and left the kiddies with Dr Porsche. He needed something other than his 2 seater company car so he borrowed one of the Race Team vans. He liked it so much that he put it into production but they were just too expensive. (All leather interior etc) so it stopped after just 10.

How do I know all this.... This is my dream car, and the one that got away. I lost out on one by $5000 a few years ago. Unfortunately that sale shined a light on their existance and now theyre 6 figures.
