[OT] NON Rocc, Sweet VW 411 Station Wagon

[Marc Getty <marc@getty.net>]

This is a VW type 4. It's has an air cooled, rear mounted, horizontally opposed
"pancake" engine with Bosch fuel injection. The engine is similar to a bug's but
is very flat and is accessed through the floor of the trunk. There are two types
of type 4s: a fast back and a squareback, the eBay auction is for a squareback
(wagon).

The type 4 was the worlds first production car with electronic fuel injection,
and was way ahead of it's time. This is an ultra-rare car mostly because the
type 4 line of cars were a major flop for VW.
