My Great Uncle's 1997 Squareback ...

[patmor@utu.fi (Patrick Joel Morton)]

T3,

Yeah, yeah. I wish.  Anyway, it would be hard to imagine even an
accidental, "really", late model Squareback rolling off the line in
Germany.  Talk about one off Volkswagens ...

Oddly enough, I believe that it is Ferdinand Piech who owns a 1980 1303LS
Convertible - made in April of 1980, well after the production officially
stopped in Germany.  I saw something about this at the museum.  Apparently,
this Super Cab was built from remaining spare parts for him personally by
the factory as a gift.  Its VIN does actually indicate it as being a 1980
model year and it has all of the possible extras added.  I think he gave it
to his wife and there was something about it never having been driven.  I
recall that their family also owns quite a few other rare Porsches (914s
and 911s that do not exist as far as official records indicate).

I wish VW would have made a 1978 Square from spares.  It would be a rare
Square indeed.

'Nuff said.
