That is tooooo cool. I love it. To bad they did not hide the scoop. That would be fun as an anti-ricer. Talk about how imbarassed the youngins would be to go home beaten by a VW :lol: :lol: :lol:

Even with the scoop sticking out no one will think it is real, besides, the engine is in the back in those ;) I just wouldn't expect it to handle too well. It just doesn't seem like it should. I just expect it to roll over for some reason.

some of you guys are worrying me. that is the (i hesitate to use the word) DUMBEST thing i've seen in a long time. take a '63 frame and put a bug body on it? :rolleyes: and the bidding is up to 9k+? i think the guy is bidding on his own stuff to jack it up. aint no way... :nonod: i woulnd't give 9k for the both of them. :nono: what a disaster. :bs

Actually I kinda like it. It is better than the other way around: A vette body on a beattle frame, that would make me :U . I have a feeling it is meant to go in a straight line.
