Lets do the math-

Take a 25,000 dollar toyota collectable land cruiser

and a nice -say 4000 dollar beetle

spend - say 2000 on tires and a torch.

and sell it for Question Question Question Question Question d'oh!

I think the same math applies to lowered stuff-

besides they should have mounted the bug body further forward to make it look nicer from the side. way too much wasted money there to not make it look decent at least.... should be moved forward on the frame at least another 6" and remove the front nasty looking wheel wells they look tough but awkward on this freak of a thing

but at least somebody got that 6 cy toy clone that got 20 mpg in a 4x4 and never broke down so they could put tha 350 in there and go maybe 20 mph faster and get 12 mpg with a quadrapuke!

Well- at least it will sell quickly- Embarassed Embarassed oops its been there 22 days.

If that's worth 10k, then my FJ40 must be worth tons!!!

Waste of two good vehicles that I like equally.

I had a chance to buy a cracked fiberglass 427SC Cobra body from Shelby here in town once, When they found out I was going to mount it on a 4wd IHC Scout II chassis they would not sell it to me, imagine how that would have looked.

I would drive it around if it was given to me but I would not spend money on purchasing it. (i would only drive it around to see what kind of weird looks people give when they see it) l am with sloboatnova this makes us all seem like purists.
