That is a good look.  Not quite anything else, with a lot of that classic sports car styling. I could see why that could be "THE ride" of someone's desires.
Personally, I'm grew up more obsessed with street rods and really simple cars. It led me to fall in love with the Berry Mini-T and T-4. So I sought one out.
Enjoy your ride. Share your build. We look forward to it. I know I do!
P.S. I'd restore and run that vintage type 3 engine with the early heads and sidedraft one barrel carb. But perhaps fast is your style.

Love the look from the side! Kind of a German Puma.

That's a great looking car. If you change your mind and decide to sell please let me know.

That is probably one of the very few of that body style that actually gets it right...

That's a great looking car.
It has a bit of Mustang, Opel, Dino and GT40 - all in the right proportions. Enjoy the ride. Post more pics.

100% AGREED! There have, in my opinion, very few cars using the VW chassis as a base, that have looked as though they were designed by professionals who really had an idea what a "proper" sports car should look like and this one nails it. The front of the car matches the back of the car and the mid section perfectly joins the two together.
