Speaking flared fenders - any old timers on here recall what I believe was a Hot VW's article (but might have been VW Greats?) titled: Down Under Ground Shaker? (Or ground pounder?)
It featured a Porsche Red Beetle, neat flared fenders with a nicely rolled-down lip, like a 930 style flare, whaletail (but subtle, not the huge tails like CCC sell), molded front bumber cover with integral air dam and top lip that extended back to near the body, full house 2180. Neat looking and tastefully done car, a precursor to the German Look and built by an Austrailian outfit that specialized in high-end VW conversions and tuning at the time. This has to go back to around the early 1970's? Best looking flared fenders I've seen, before or since.
Anyone remember this car or have the magazine it was featured in? If I recall correctly it was also shown on the cover in a small pic?
