Porsche Vw Eigenbau Glockler Inspired Handbuilt Aluminum "frankfurt Flyer" on 2040-cars
Alexandria, Minnesota, United States
|
For your consideration is the opportunity to purchase one of my aluminum bodied "coachbuilt" racers known as the "Frankfurt Flyer" in Spyder and also, now in Coupe' configuration. The Coupe roof is removable and can be transformed into Targa configuration or an open top Spyder with lowcut "Competition" windscreen. The cars are inspired by the post WWII "Aircraft Racers" of Germany, like the early Hanomag, VW and Porsche Glockler Handbuilt racers.
Photo Alex Bellus This auction is for the commissioned build of chassis #FF004. My cars are built specifically around the driver and his/her driving style, height/weight and personal preferences. The layout of the car offers 2 seat configuration. Power comes from a mid engine 1915CC VW powerplant with upright Porsche style fan shroud (optional Porsche 912 engine available at additional cost.) The engine is warrantied, dyno tested and produces 125HP at the wheels. This is mated to a custom heavy duty 4 speed transaxle with hydraulic clutch. Wilwood HP brakes and stainless brake lines are standard. VW Wide 5 wheels are utilized with optional aluminum wheels available at additional cost. Bilstein adjustable coil suspension at rear and our own Bilstein custom struts up front with adjustable VW Front Beam. The chassis is entirely custom built on my own jig with wheelbase varying for drivers size. The body is hand hammered and wheeled Aluminum shaped over a wooden buck. The "23" car (chassis #001) has had publicity in AutoWeek (http://www.autoweek.com/article/20140122/CARNEWS01/140109838), 9 Magazine, MSN Cars UK, RS Magazine, Hoonivers Car of the Year Nominee, MegaDeluxe, Featured on Bring A Trailer and many more. If you're into the late 40's and early 50's racers this car is the ticket. You'll never see another car like yours and this work of art is just as fascinating sitting still as it is climbing inside and hearing the engine roar. The cars are a blast on the track as well. The car is delivered with title, bill of sale and in more stringent State/Country cases I am flexible to accommodate buyers with titling/registration. Being that the running gear is comprised of early VW and Porsche parts, Frankfurt Flyer Chassis #001 (23 car) has been invited to several historic events both in the US and abroad as well as a recent invite to a significant Porsche event in Monterey this coming June. Please only serious inquiries. Build time for a basic package starts at 6 months. I am booking my winter/spring build projects now so yours will be ready for Summer of 2014. Also note that I offer custom buck building and coachwork for other automobiles or custom one-off projects as well. (Including Nacelle Cowlings or Hoods for your 550 Replica.) I will assist in design, buck building and custom coachwork and panel shaping. Inquire for pricing and info. More Info: I am a one man shop located in Minnesota. All work is done in house by me from fabrication to paint. Note: The Wooden buck pictured is used for shaping the alloy panels. It is replaced with structural bulkhead supports on the finished car. Please inquire for more information. Photo Alex Bellus Photo Alex Bellus Photo Alex Bellus Photo Travis Lang Photo Alex Bellus Chassis FF#002 shown here being built in 2 seat configuration. Here's an updated look at chassis #002 as of December 11, 2013. The panels have been wheeled and hammered into shape and temporarily mounted for fitment on the chassis. Chassis #003 is pending sale and #004-005 are still available. Thank you to everyone who has contacted me, viewed and shared my listing. One more look for those who've requested to see #002. Thanks again for all the compliments and constructive input. As I've told many who have inquired. The Frankfurt Flyer design is one of 15 I have currently drawn up. Each of the 15 cars I have designed will be built in progression over the next couple decades in limited quantities. Testing windscreen shapes with #002. As mentioned, the car is hand-built here in Minnesota. |

Porsche 911 already testing next refresh
Wed, 11 Dec 2013The latest Porsche 911 may still be a newer car, but that hasn't stopped the German company from starting development of a facelifted version of the rear-engined sports car, testing in what looks like southern Europe.
Due to hit the market in 2015, our spies think what we're seeing here is the new GTS variant, which, following the evolution of the last-generation 911, will make its debut on the facelifted car. Featuring the wider rear haunches of the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4, the GTS should enjoy a slight power boost, to 408 ponies.
Aesthetically, there are some additional vents in the rear bodywork, along with a revised front bumper and tweaked day-time running lights. The taillights get some attention as well, and will likely grow over the current car's skinny rear lamps.
Listen to the Porsche Macan's exhaust note ahead of its LA debut
Fri, 08 Nov 2013As if we need further proof that the Porsche Macan won't just be another small CUV, it'll be a small Porsche CUV, the German automaker has released a video of the vehicle's raucous exhaust note. In short, the Macan will sport a far racier soundtrack than most of its competitors.
The raspy sound coming from one of the Macan's two turbocharged V6 engines sounds great (the video isn't clear as to whether we're listening to the base 3.0-liter or the Turbo model's 3.6-liter engine), and it's accompanied by a nice crackle on overrun. It isn't like a 911 or other flat-six model, but it is more or less what we expect a Porsche to sound like. We'll have all the details on the newest member of the Porsche lineup when it debuts later this month at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. Scroll down for an official press release from Porsche, as well as the video of the Macan, and be sure to turn your speakers up.
