I respectfully nominate VW/Audi's 2.0 Tdi. 140Hp, more than 200lb/ft of amazing torque, no smoke or strange noise, and 50MPG in real world highway driving with a comfortable wagen.

I wonder what they'd make of the oil spot my '69 would leave?

It's probably totally worth the money... just not to me.

Ugly little econobox with a motor that you could sell for the price of the whole car? NP all the way.

CP: nice car, in fact, very nice car; but just a a bit too much coin.

Soooooo much goodness under one company. It's like the exact opposite of GM. :)

I agree. It actually resembles the bizarre Porsche setup. It likely stayed strange because the first 2 or 3 years of the Vanagon were air cooled.

As the proud owner of a 1969 911 daily driver, I can emphatically agree with the climate control argument. I have finally cracked the code, but it is a darn complicated way to do a simple thing.

Porsche 2.2E from a 1971 911. This Brazilian owner installed an amazing home grown EFI system using the original MFI throttle bodies. Truly one of the most beautiful engines I've ever seen.

Super cute, but still gets a CP, because it's worth no more than $1G to me.

How can you forget the mainstay of Navy Recon for the last 40+ years? BEHOLD! The mighty EP-3E Skypig.
