Below is the Initial post of Con-Ferr Catalog, pages 1-19 plus covers.
This post contains 24 pages from an undated Con-Ferr 100-page catalog, one that I’d guess is from 1970.

The Southern California company of Con-Ferr was founded in 1961 by Pete Condos & Frank Ferro (hence the Con-Ferr), though eventually Pete bought out Frank to become sole owner.

Pete had a background in Scouts, while Frank had a background in Jeeps. Their goal was to provide speciality off-road products for both types of vehicles. To that end, not only did they run their parts shop in Burbank, California, they also built custom jeeps like the Convert Cougar and the Super Jeep. Pete’s driver, Bill Haddad, drove Condo’s race jeeps to 18 victories in the 21 races in which he entered.

Pete would go on to co-found the National Off-Road Racing Association (NORRA) in 1966, which produced races like the Baja 1000 and Mint 500. During that time, Condos also produced racing vehicles for other folks, such as  off-road racers for Steve McQueen and James Garner.

At the time the catalog was published, Con-Ferr billed itself as America’s largest Off-Road vehicle accessory provider and had more than 44,000 square feet of storage, work, and retail space. It was an authorized dealer of Kaiser Jeep, Toyota Land Cruiser, and Manx.

“1978 Fiat Campagnola – Basically an Italian Land Rover Defender.
4 wheel drive, simple, unbreakable off road vehicle.

Clean title in hand. Purchased two years ago August 2017 from a classic car dealership. I was looking for a tough all weather, off road rig to take me on back country adventures. One that could handle all weather and terrain. Then one day I discovered the Campagnola. I met a guy in a parking lot getting into his 1979 Campagnola (different rig). Smitten with It’s unique simplicity and rugged design I approached him to inquire about it. Turns out he’s a collector and had just returned from Italy with three of them. He said he had a special model for sale with a classic car dealership. He described this 1978 as being the most authentic of the three. It was the last year for this model which has more of the original features. He shared some specs and stories of how he drove this particular rig off road in the Alps in a blizzard, up and over snowbanks was easy and the heater rocks.

1981 VW Scirocco Trailer Meridian, ID **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: trailer This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $400.

I spotted this while looking for something else. It’s just so odd. It would never occur to me to turn a Scirocco into a trailer.

“Back half of a VW Scirocco turned into a trailer with working wiring. Previous owner built it as a companion to another Scirocco, but I have no need for it. Would make a great race trailer or show accessory for the VW enthusiast.”
