I wasn't sure where to post this.

It sure seems like VW would have had some factory backed race cars in the 80s, road or rally. But I can't seem to find any images of them on teh Googles.

Anyone have a direction they can point me in?

VW sponsored a Rabbit/Golf show room series and the diesel Jetta series.

Not a factory effort but the Kamei car is probably the most iconic VW race car of that era I can think of

SVReX bought my berg cup flares and I think he pulled a mold from them if you want to recreate that Kamei car.

Too funny, I built the 1/24th scale model of this car - it was cool as all get out, but lost years and years ago.

I do still have an 80's Bobby Allison Buick Regal model out in the garage, though. Those 80's NASCAR units I think were probably the best looking of NASCAR's history.

I digress... a lot.

I may just give him a shout to see if he still has them. Thank you!
