Find(s) of the Day: A Collection of 8 DKWs

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="71768"] words: Bill, photos: Craigslist Well this is something new. First of all, I can't remember when I've actually featured a FOTD from Craigslist (remember when we could find all the cool stuff there?) and secondly, a collection of 8 DKWs for sale? Here's the ad: I lost my lease and need to sell all these DKW's. The past owner lost some engine blocks. There are only 3 or 4 blocks.

Like many post war pre-turbocharger Audi models, the Munga isn't the fastest option in this segment. It sports a 2-stroke 3-cylinder engine with 900cc displacement. A...
