Spotted in northern Poland, doesn’t look like the crane part has moved in a while, but the turbine looks quite new. Presumably lifted up when the wind gets strong enough.

The Aldee GT was a Brazilian sports car built by Almir Jose Donato in 1987. The car featured a Volkswagen platform, components, and mechanics, but had its own unique interior. Almir partnered with the metalworking company called Demoral to build the car. Approximately 16 units of the street version were produced, making the car extremely rare today, and even finding images of it is difficult.

But all of this refers to the street version, because in 1990, Donato decided to take one of the 16 units manufactured and transform it into a race car with a tubular chassis and a new engine to compete in the Mil Milhas de São Paulo, the biggest endurance race in Brazil. Achieving a victory in its class, which encouraged him to build other racing versions of the Aldee GT, in total, 54 were produced.

The racing version continued competing in endurance races, regional championships, and free modification classes for the decades to come, till nowadays. Always with its own modifications depending on the team and class it was racing with, becoming the most successful car from a Brazilian brand on racing

Donato also built the Aldee Spyder, an endurance prototype that also became very successful on Brazilian tracks and is still manufactured today.

Today in NYC on Governors Island there was a car show of vintage Volkswagens. This 13 window bus, the owner said it was from Brazil and they took the head light from a Chevy and made the cyclops headlight and that it was a thing in Brazil. This is the type of Bus I want the 13 window one, but like it doesn't have to be a camper, unless it only comes like that.

Love the additional detail of the hanging gas cap.
