Re: IML: Airflow knock-off?

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I figured the Peugeot price may have been jacked up because it's a 
convertible.  Don't get down on the price because they are "production" 
cars. Hemi 'cuda convertibles go for upwards of a million and you'd be hard 
pressed to find any hemi e-body for under $100,000.  Anybody with $4000 
could have bought one 35 years ago. Heck, 25 years ago you could have had 
your pick at $1,500.

As for the similarities between the bug and the airflow, I think Full 
Throttle on the History Channel just mentioned this including pictures.  
It's a show with the "turbo twins" where identical cars and parts are given 
to 2 person teams with a day to build and then drag race.  During the 
history portion of the bug episode I believe they mentioned this.  If not it 
was on one of the other cable car shows.
