Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Check out the custom decklid to fit this thing:

I've never seen one mounted directly off the crankshaft, Only the belt driven kind. Thats pretty cool. Looks like the apron and decklid was modified.

I scanned that from an article in Volkswagen Driver mag, Oct 03. There's an interesting writeup about it.

Isnt that the type 115? Or is it the type 120? I think that supercharger boosted that puppy up over 45hp! Top speed 85mph! If I recall, all of those cars were scrapped. Brick wall
