A few weeks ago I spotted this East German Trabant in the weeds by an abandoned house. I've been researching them and found out less than 100 ever reached the USA.
Tonight we drove there and by wild coincidence the owner was there. Turns out he installed a VW TDI engine, airbag suspension, fuel cell, racing seat, and a custom steering using transmission parts!!
Although Deb Crowe was disappointed that I wasn't buying it for our anniversary, he invited me to stop back anytime. I offered to help him get it back on the road so perhaps I've got a new friend.
