Homebrew VW truck!

[Beatty, Robert]

When I was in college, one of my friends had a book of cars for sale,
rediculous things like the Fonz's motorcycle in Happy Days and a 900+ hp 57
chevy for 50,000.  Well one of the cars advertised was a VW rabbit with a
911 Turbo motor stuffed in the back of the car.  The rear half of the body
would swing open as if the motor was mounted on a trailing arm kind of like
the rear suspension on a dirt bike.  It looked quite sick, thou WHY anyone
would bother with that kind of power in a Rabbit is beyond me.  It was
supposedly capable of over 160mph as well.
