My dad found this on craigslist. It's a Kelmark GT kit car. It has a 901 5 speed, 911T 2.2 and a full compliment of porsche gauges. The brakes, wiring and fuel line need work, but it has alot of potential.

Hey Bondo,

I posted that one here last week. Great to see a someone got it where we can see the progress. Your photos are much better than what was in the ad.

If its a '69 Beetle, definitely a twin trailing arm torsion bar front end.. I drove a '69 into the ground through many years/ many engines....

One thing in its favor.. sure as hell was BUILT ALOT better than a 914!!!

Superior fit and finish, and most importantly, DRAINAGE... the only rust spot to look for is under what used to be the rear passenger seat, where the battery is secured.

I like how Kelmark copied the Dino Ferrari's nice lines.

have fun!
