Woah, it's sure going to surprize some hotrodders. I love those fenders, didn't

notice until they mentioned it.

The SuperBeetle has a front suspension layout very similar to 914. Why go to all trouble of putting body on a "pan" which really isn't a pan. I'd rather just take the Superbeetle chassis/pan, and graft the mid-engine arrangment. Neat idea, but I don't see the economy of time or effort using the method described.

I love the translation. Look at this:
"the impression, which one makes on the Auobahn on the pilots of fast cars, is also like that without example"

Cool find Andy. Thanks for sharing. I love sleepers.

Sweet. "Super" bug.

Andy,

I don't post anything about it here because this is 914 stuff, but something some might be interested in is my 1303 4x4 project. The Super has been lifted 4", longer trainling arms, full fenders sort of like a class 11 style. Looks stock, has 28" all-terain tires on 2.0 Fuchs. Looks really good and agressive. I am still trying to source out some of the parts for the 4x4 conversion.

VW Bus Syncro trans will be the hardest. My goal is to make it something the factory might have done like they did in the 40's with the military VW units.

Fun Stuff! Thanks for sharing.

Interesting vid, here.

interesting, the same guy who build the bug also build a 914 with a 928 v8

i wonder if that is the same 914 pictured in DGVWPB ...
Andy

no engine bay images of that 914...

I like the bug a lot, but I am IN LOVE with that teener.

this guy didn't built these cars !!

he just bought them once - btw, he doesn't own the 914-8 any longer

the 914-8 is the car from the DGVWPB
the Bug is one of the famous "Nordstadt Käfer", built at the VW-Dealer Nordstadt from Hannover
they planed to build 20 cars, but had to quit early due to the horrable costs of this project - AKAIK there are only 2 existing original "Nordstadt Käfer"

the same Dealer built a VW Golf I with a Porsche 928 engine ...

i must have missed this mysterious DGVWPB acronym.

probably the best 914 book - available only in German
and only vintage ...

Gustl

danke



who has pics of that 914 in the vid? anyone?

DAN!! Please start an "OT" thread on this. I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to see your project! Pics required!

Have you ever seen Dave LaTourette's 1966 VW 4x4 Rally Bug?

I'm pretty sure I have some, but it will take its time
now I have got to go to the office ... when I'm back home I will dig them out

Hello Gustl,

anyways, here are some pictures of the car ...

Hi Benno,

you're right, but I'm too

Günter Arzt was the founder & managing director of Nordstadt Hannover

so, the well known "Nordstadt Käfer" was also the "Arzt Käfer"

they also built other spectecular cars like the 924 / 944 Estate, Audi Quattro Estate, Ausi 200 Estate, VW Sciwago and some others ...

Gustl

Pretty much what I am doing. Thanks for the link!

aah, o.k. i see ...

man lernt doch nie aus ;-)

best wishes from Berlin to Tirol !

Benno

Any photos of those other 'oddball'cars? I have a fondness for estates! R

unfortunately the video doesn't work for me, so I hope these are photos of the correct car - there are 2 different (but very similar) 914-8
and it's a long time ago that I saw this video on German TV ...
