    Lucky Me!!

    I'm truly stoked!

    Today my friend comes into the shop and asks me if I want a VW Fastback. It used to have a Porsche flat six in it so the oil tank mods are already done. The car just needs a little cosmetic work and a motor and trans. Otherwise, it's gravy.

    FREE CAR ... and a VW Fastback at that.

    I'm totally stoked!!!

    Welcome to the world of Fastback ownership! These cars are 911s in sheep's clothing. Very similar suspensions and real room for four people. I wish I had a six in mine, but the 150 HP 4 cylinder and the close ratio 5 speed tranny do just fine.

    Thanks, guys. Aside from the fact that these cars are just plain cool to look at and an absolute blast to drive, they are totally affordable. Sometimes I even miss my old, stock '70 bug.

    My first introduction to air-cooled cars was my vw fastback that I owned in college. I really think that owning that car then is what attracted me to early 911's now. The car was light and the smooth running engine was different than anything I had owned previously. I loved the spartan interior and lack of uneccessary adornment. Great little cars, and if I had the space I would have another one.
