Rare Video of 1968 Ferrari 512 Modulo Concept on the Road

It's not often that we get the chance to see driving footage of a rare concept car like the 1968 Ferrari 512 Modulo that was created by Italian designer Paolo Martin who was then working for Pininfarina. Unveiled at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show, Martin's futuristic Ferrari 512 Modulo was built on the chassis of the Ferrari 512 S racer featuring a 550HP V12 engine that could be seen through 24 large holes in the rear compartment. One of the most prominent features of the Modulo was its canopy style sliding roof that moved forward along with the windshield.

eBay Find: 1965 VW Beetle with MINI Clubman-Like Suicide Rear Door

Now here's a custom made Beetle that's not only unique, but it actually makes so much sense that you wonder why Volkswagen didn't come up with an idea like this when the classic bug was in production. Similar with today's MINI Clubman, the 1965 Beetle benefits from the addition of a rear suicide door on the passenger's side, a practical solution that has been cleanly integrated into the bug without altering its timeless looks. If you're interested, the car is up for sale on eBay.

eBay Find: 1991 Volkswagen Golf Country Syncro

No, the Golf County pictured above isn't one of those garage-built crossovers that we find from time to time on eBay. This is a rare, stock to the bone model that was built in a limited run of around 7,700 units from 1990 to 1991. See, well before the Tiguan and Touareg SUVs came to fill the void in Volkswagen's "off-road" range, the German automaker tried to create an innovative hybrid-offroader based on the second-generation Golf model.

Unlike many of today's faux-crossovers, the Golf Country used VW's Syncro all-wheel drive system combined with a heavily revised suspension and higher road-clearance to offer the vehicle true off road capability.

Other features included a skid plate to protect the engine area along with front and rear guard rails plus an externally mounted spare wheel carrier.

In Europe, the Golf MK2 Country was offered with either a 115HP 1.8-liter 8v gasoline engine or a 75HP 1.6-liter turbodiesel. This particular example found on eBay, is a '91 petrol model that is said to have been exported to Japan before finding its way to Canada in 2008. If you're interested, the 'Buy it Now Price' is US$7,200.
