Monterey Rock Festival

Batmobile

German Cars & Coffee, much smaller than US-events, but still alright.
I imagine these two images give a decent impression of the "range" of the meet (if I could attach a third it'd be 2010+ retro-musclecars)

St. Ignace, Mi. 6/19

The top one featured here recently. A local has one and he and a mate are taking two to Europe to navigate the rivers. Rhine??
Saw them years ago.
Certainly turns heads

Interesting! You would certainly not find me in one!

But they are rare. I'm not sure I would trust it either. Nice shot of it.

Thanks! I had no idea they were rare, I feel like I've seen hundreds of them, haha.

A grand total of 3878 of them made, it's fairly low production. I didn't realise there were that many made, but having said that, I have only ever seen less than a few.

They were quite expensive back when they were new, and in Germany you need two licenses for them (driving, and for boats).
Also, a bunch suffered poor maintenance and sunk, or at the very least got water-damage from faulty gaskets.
Currently there seem to be two on the market over here, in the neighborhood of 70k Euros (about 78 thousand USD).
Most of them are assumed to spend their days in collections/garages.
Few are driven, even less get to swim.
