Reply to "Where are all the Coupes?"

It's funny, Mitch is talking about the glut of VW pans and parts that were available in California YEARS ago. Those are getting more scarce by the day, forcing both Greg and Carey to investigate getting AWAY from the whole VW beam/torsion bar rear suspensions, whether the car is on a pan or not.

The way forward is without a whole lot of VW DNA. It is definitely an expense in R & D and tooling/supply chain. But once it's done, we as clown-car consumers will have choices.

You want all-independent, modern suspension? Check. Four-wheel disc brakes? Check. 5 speeds? Check. Whatever engine choice you want? Check. A/C and heat? Check. Water-cooled, air-cooled, whatever. Check.

You'll be able to have it Burger King style: your way.

I know Carey is busy. I spoke to Greg the other day, he's had to turn some customers away, he's so busy.

I agree with Robert, if I'm spending the money on a one-off custom car, I'll order it the way I want it. I'd rather not buy a used one that someone else spec'd out.
