anyone have a pic of the beetle lil" Bugger

turbomustang84

I think they came out in 73 or 74 it was a motor home that was half motor home and the nose was a beetle or super beetle .
I have not seen one of these in at least 20 years ,My Aunt owned one but it had a pinto front end
.they were all called lil Buggers even the pinto version ,
obviously they did not sell too well but I would love a pic or two of them ,I would actually buy one if I found one for sale .

I'd love to see her cook in the pouring rain and then go to sleep in an area that a monkey couldn't even f@$* a football in.

And this one is just a really bad fake!

These days of course we would say they were Photoshopped, but people were faking pictures LONG before Photoshop came along! (I've got a picture of my Grandfather with Charles Lindberg and Mayor La Guardia, we are pretty sure the only place they all got together was in my Grandfathers darkroom!

Does it come with the Leisure suit too? There was one for sale somewhere by Athens, OH this summer.

The lil-Bugger article is in=Dune Buggies & Hot VWs dated January1976. There is a #48287 also,dont know its connection. Also have same mag with article converting vw to 2-cyls by a n-west college as a school project. I did this same thing about 5yrs earlier 1974 due to oil embargo,needed better mi,and mostly didnt have enuf parts/money to do a full eng,drove about 6 mo to work in-town,got around pretty good. Seriously thinking of doing another,have some ideas to test out.

Can't find any info on these things other than this thread.

We were up at the Northwest Vintage Show in Seattle Washington this summer and there was a SuperBugger. It was pretty cool. It won an award. There was a steady stream of onlookers all day. Here are a few pics that my son took.
