VW Käfer Oldspeed

OLDSPEED means when you have a stock 50’s or 60’s (maybe even 70’s) Beetle / Karmann Ghia / Bus but with an engine and other performance upgrades.

The upgrade has to be the periodcorrect.

Some names will ring a bell;
Judson Supercharger, Okrasa (Oettinger Kraftfahrtechnische Spezial Anstalt), Shorrock Supercharger, Empi, Speedwell Sprint Kit, Pepco, Mag…and several other performance
