Barracuda GT?

Good guess, but it is another letter combination of similar meaning.

No, a hint: the two letters are identical.

No need for apologies. Glad to see another good puzzle escape the BH!

This is one of approximately twenty VW Typ 3-based coupes built by Bernd Hiltergerke in the late 1960s.

Great, that's worth a point.

It seems he later turned his fiberglass knowledge towards building boats quite successfully.
