Default Gemballa Avalanche, pictures please.

I know I know blasphemy and not a Porsche purist's car but one that I've loved the over the top looks of since I saw a new one in the mid 80's. Anyone here have one or anybody have some good pics? I'd love to have some good high res background material.

Yeah, I saw those posts when I used the search. Having all of those pictures I was searching for more.

Jastx, funny I don't like the new version and of the pics you posted I really only like the blue one. The fixed headlight white cab. just doesn't seem to work and the burgundy is perhaps such a bad photochop job it looks funny.

Anyone else?

We have an Extremo I built about 5 years ago. This is on a 87 body, but was based on the 993 body.

Album 16 weeks at #1. Sold 7 million copies. Yes, America made this guy filthy rich and thought he was the bomb. And so we financed his Avalanche for him.




Far be it for Americans to actually require an entertainer to have talent before making him rich and famous.

Here is a car that I have in the shop. It originally was pearl white. It is owned by another famous rapper(not Vanilla Ice). We had it painted Lapis Blue. The color is stunning in the sun! I can't say I care for the looks of this body kit. It is a little toooo gawdy for me. I'm going to do some engine work and send it home.

Is that Sir Mixalot's car?

Does he still have it?

I just picked up a white Gemballa and want to know how many there are in the US.


I know theres the pearl white one at Gemballa USA in LA, on sale for $98000. I think this one was Vanilla Ice's as it was from Miami

Then this blue one.

I think MC Hammer had one too. Almost bought his Koenig Specials 450sl (yes you read that right)

Vinilla Ice's Pearl White Gem was wrecked in thwe late 1980's and I saw a few pieces of it in Tulsa in the 1980's. A firend's dad was going to by the car, but it was FUBAR. He kept a piece ofthe fender and had it on the wall of his shop.
