Interesting Gemballa Story (yeah, like crazy Porsche slant nose conversions from the 80s)

[Tank]

If you were alive and around in the 80's I'm sure you remember the crazy Gemballa Porsche custom creations. Buddy actually owned a 993 turbo S late 90's model Gemballa and a 996 Gemballa in the early 2000's. I never knew the tragic end to Uwe Gemballa, the founder of the company though. This video breaks it down well. Interesting story.

Wow! Cool stuff. Out of my wheelhouse but neat ties into history and international auto trade (legal and not so legal)
