It's so fun finding unusual and previously unknown stuff on the internet... a 1951 Tempo Matador, VW powered




If this find isn't amazing enough, you might be able to buy it from Oldbug. Asking $110,000
The images are from Oldbug, but visit the link above because there are many more to see, including the restoration process.

This is a very rare Volkswagen powered truck called a Tempo Matador, built in 1951 by a Hamburg Germany based company by the name of Vidal and Sohn.

These trucks were produced for a short period of time from 1949 through 1955 and used the well tested 25 horse Volkswagen powerplant and a ZF non-synchro 4 speed transmission.
