VW 1500 sports specials



From the November 1961 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine. This article and some of the others I've posted are from a lot of newspaper and magazine clippings about VWs that I bought years ago from the estate of an automotive journalist. I'm not the one that tore them out!

Found your website through Jalopnik...I'm a 1965 Notchback 1500s owner myself, also in L.A., NE area, near CalState LA.

I've been in "restoring" my Notch for about 7 years now...to a semi-custom state...raised spindle knuckles, to lower the car, Porsche Fuchs and was blueprinting a Type 4 motor to through in...that's on definite hold.

But keep the updates coming!

Hey Big Dee,

Your notch sounds like it's going to be nice once you get it going. With a Type 4 motor it'll have some real performance. I'm afraid my Ghia's performance is going to be a little on the "vintage" side, if you know what I mean, so I'm a little envious!
