1984 Trabant 601S in USA - Short Drive
Рет қаралды 10,516
4 ай бұрынAs you know, I own a Trabant 601S from 1984 here in the state of Ohio. It is my project/dream car. Since I made the video, I had someone from Germany mention a fuel leak that I have been chasing since her new engine was put in. I have since received a new carburetor, fuel hose as well as other new parts, with much thanks to my great friend in Germany. I plan to install them here soon but for now, here is a short drive. I will make a video about how I acquired this vehicle because that itself is one story that I hope will not only inspire you but also bring smiles to all. I hope to have that video released by the end of next week. The weather here can be crazy but I'll manage.

They are such fun things, Trabants.

Indeed they are, especially here in Ohio where no one really knows what the heck they are looking at.

It's unfortunate that they discontinued them after the unification of Germany because their engines did not meet enviromental standards.

No no . A Subaru 360 engine would be a logical swap. Also an air cooled 2 cyl 2 stroke.

Your Trabant has a Hungarian license plate number? You should find one from the former GDR (German Democratic Republic).

I would if it was sold new in East Germany. It was sold new in Budapest.

@@McElroysMotors People associate the Trabant 601 with German reunification. The vehicle was also produced in Germany. So why would you drive around in the USA with a Hungarian license plate?
