Re: My strange looking VW thread
Looks like a Subaru to me
1971 Volkswagen Karmann Cheetah
In the early 1970s, German coachbuilder Wilhelm Karmann GmbH was already responsible for building the slinky Karmann Ghia and drop-top Beetles for Volkswagen — but it also helped build a small, conceptual sports car for VW and Italdesign.
As was the case with the Karmann Ghia, the coachbuilder had virtually no say in the Cheetah project. The sleek, angular lines — fitted over a modified Beetle floorpan — were entirely the product of Giugiaro's imagination. Karmann did, however, have a part when it came time to design the roof. A soft top, which sported a translucent sunroof panel over the cockpit, slid down the length of the car's sidebows and could be neatly tucked between the seats.
Obviously, the Cheetah never made it into production — a pity, for Fiat found a fair amount of success with its Bertone-styled X1/9 facsimile, which came to market a year after the Cheetah premiered at the 1971 Geneva motor show.

Those wheels haven't seen pavement in 10 years!
May as well be on a set of bike tires...

And you should seek help with your obsession over my car.
I'm sure Dr. Phil can help you with, or maybe its just a bad case of DSB.
And only 5 years is nothing, it's a barn find in the making.
