Rarest VW? The 1975 SP2

[haygood at myway.com (Brian Haygood)]

That would be neat car, but who has the room for it?  Not I.  A little 2.0 action from a camper van with a turbo or two and some traditional bug suspension improvements could make that a nice little eye catcher.  Unfortunately the interior looks really cheap, but that could just be too much armor all on the one we were looking at.  Anybody going to buy this kia?
