Don't really like the graffics but the car does look kinda cool. If you put a MassIVe motor in there it would scream.

What color is that?

It's beautiful

IIRC the colour is "brazil brown metallic"

I always loved the SP2
There're some mistakes at the description ... SP2 stands for Sao Paolo 2, the successor of the SP1 ... it was designed and built by Karman-Ghia do Brazil
originally it had 65 PS (54 PS for the SP1)
and it's by far not the rares VW ever made ... only about 700 VW Hebmüller Cabriolets (Type 14 A) were built ... and about 6,100 VW Fridolin (Type 147)

anyhow ... a really wonderful car ...

There used to be one in the bay area (sf) back in the day....I always thought it looked like an Avanti but with more "boy racer" crap going on....cheap interiors too.....certainly would stand out in a crowd tho.....

Does anyone else hear the Inspector Gadget theme music while looking at this thing?

It looks pretty cool, but it definitely needs lowered a few inches, eh?

My brother and I bought a PUMA back in the 80's, sorry I sold my interest back to him ... he sold it not long afterwards

I stumbled across a Hebmuller on a used car lot for $12k in 1978. I thought it was a hack job when I first saw it. By the time I researched it and went back a couple of days later, it was gone
