Hey Guys not sure how many of you may have known of or seen this car around. I beleive it to be one of the Words Most Elegant Beetles. This Baby is Top Shelf. Built to go to SEMA..

Note..
I saw this car as Art, and appricated it's shear beauty. Sorry to disapoint some of you guys, I do car Photo shoots and this car is a real crowd pleaser. Thanks for some of your postive Post, but I have to question some of the others as their probably the ones using Mexican parts on their German rides. We all can't be Purest, the point is this car is quality built it would have been too easy for this guy to buy Mexican he went full out Custom. Apperently for some money wasn't the object but rather the concept and build of a True Custom Ride this time using the Beloved Beetle. I really appricate seeing creative ideas done well, and this one is!

As for the negitivity, if you noticed I said the Car was a Custom Build, and should have made that more clear as to the reason for my post. And unless you are some of the few who truely own some of the Best Orginals with correct parts you have little room to complain. Hell we would all love to own a Early Bug, Split, Hebmuller, etc. But there are few of those beautiful cars out there. Bellybuttons all look alike and I personally would perfer the orginal parts on a old VW, then the knock off bolt on Empi junk that i see at many shows, no wonder I normally pass these cars over for Photos.

Sorry for offending anyone just thought that with all the hacked up bugs out there that someone would have appricated seeing the creative Art in this Car. It's not everyones cup of tea, but reguardless some did recongize it for it's moderenized updates, and quality. Thank you

I love the way how the audio/video blends in the classic lines of the dash Liar

Apparently a difference of opinion of what elegant is. Sometimes less is more.

Very straight, clean and well put together .... Now what's with the 2 tone colour and dash cutting and why boy racer it up with all that stereo equipment, bugs go vroom vroom not boom boom ... Not my car, not my choice so I will shut up at least it's a bug not some fast/furious Toyota

when i first clicked on this thread, i thought it was a poll for the world's most elegant beetle.

since the original post has missed the mark, i'll nominate these two:
