Does anyone on the board know the owner, I want to see if it's still available?

Thanks.

I'm sure somebody will chime in. I spoke to the owner, but don't have his contact info.

This must be the same car. If so, somebody has been busy. A friend of mine was talking to the owner earlier this year. I thought about buying it myself but it was too heavily modified for my taste.

Serious change in the engine. It was supposedly a 2.8 liter VW.
I saw it drive past in the paddock on Sunday. Sounded more like the 36HP; very VW-like sound. Didn't get to see where he ended up, so I didn't have a chance to talk to him.
Maybe a deal was made and he was bringing it in to have it transported by one of the race teams.

I thought I had seen it somewhere before, looks much better now but still on the edge of over the top modifications/functionality...Thanks for the info!
