Now that was just cool.

Wonder how much power that really sucked out of that poor bug though?

big A-great find--a real piece of history--and a second on spart's "really cool"

u get a 1 yr free pass for finding that

I like the 360 degree thing but a VW is already an anemic little shaking shitter anyways, wouldn't want to add more burden. I did see a couple of those on bigger cars back in the early 70s. I just couldn't see how anyone figured the drip rails on a car could take the stress.

man--i hear that drip rail issue & don't ya know that trailer would push that lil ole beetle all over the place--specially in a high wind environment --maybe they had the porsche engine in the wittle dude--it did squat pretty good too

i thought it was kinda clever. the whole 360* turning ability deal

yes it is--pretty wild--a system like that would be great for big trucks---but you would need a really really really long goose neck for over the road -- or one of those super short wheelbase units like they tow mobile homes with--a bucking bronc on the big roads

The 360 would be a great idea for the ranchers whole pull a 5th wheel trailer everywhere. Most of them around here pretty much loose any mechanical sense they might have had when you screw a cowboy hat on.
