Should I say how beautiful this car this, I'm sure you all know.
It's a shame the 2000 weren't built.
*EDIT : The real fun begins at 3:15 of the video

Note to newbie Ed64, when you start a thread you should title it something more specific than "Wow ... just wow" so readers can decide if it's something that interests them, like maybe "Heb in Wolfsburg Museum" or something.

I'd much rather own this than a Ferrari. I cannot imagine what the value of these will be in say....another 50-100 years.

I read somewhere you were Chief of the Nit-pick police. Is this accurate?
8) Sorry, In the future I will remember this when posting new threads but I'm sure the majority of members would enjoy this video.

I had seen that recently without the English narration. I was really wishing I knew what he said. Although I did hear "Ferrari", and figured he must have been making a speed comparison..... :wink:

If I could figure out the whole signature thing, I would definitely put that Ferrari line there. :)

They will be just sculptures then.
No more fuel available then to be burned in engines.

considering that '48 Tuckers are running right at 2 million fully restored and around 1 million for a project, with only about 47 left I would assume that we could see them going for 1 million at some point.

This Video came from Deutsche Welle (German Wave), which is sort of the German equivalent of the BBC. They have a lot of great programing. This segment about the Heb aired a while back. You can see a lot of their stuff on line:

Here is another such segment on old Buses. (starts around 13'50")

Neither can I, but I'll bet they'll look pretty cool being pulled by a mule across the cracked and broken pavement of the post-apocalyptic wastelands.

goes for the price of a Ferrari.

Porsche's advice- "let the engine rejoice" per the English narrarative- "Der Motor muss jubeln!" in German. Jubeln is pronounced YOO-beln. Means to let it sing, let it rev.
