Not always VW’s, we’re car guys at BBT, and this is the coolest thing we saw lately!

The all original vintage Belly pan racer from Jeff Zwart recently displayed at the Cars and Coffee in Malibu California, cool as hell… not restored nor polished, just sits “like it is”….

Belly tanks are extra gas tanks from airplanes from the world war to get planes the extra fuel needed to cross the pacific or atlantic oceans, the stream line was perfect so many made racers out of them after the war, mostly destroyed, only few real nicely finished, even less kept as they raced… Jeff Zwart still has his “as was” and displayed recently at Cars and Coffee in Malibu California, now how cool is that?

Jeff Zwart is a 8 times Pikes peak class winner, a legend on his own and for sure knows how to enjoy life!
