Wasn't it Randy Carlson who put on the freak show at the Classic? This should be added to the line-up.
Just terrible...

Today's horrendous kijiji find.
From the ad:
GREAT TIME FOR A PROJECT
This 1973 Volkswagen is a very unique car. Perfect for the person who wants to have a one of a kind car,
This car has TWO FRONTS welded together, everything works as if it were a normal car. The car is fully attached to a dodge pickup frame . The motor has been changed out and now has a Corvair Chevy engine.
All floors are new no rust period. All wiring is connected and everything works , lights ,and gauges all work.
The body has been started and has very little rust. All glass is perfect. Car has been partly undercoated.
This car runs great and transmission is perfect.

Other than it being on a pickup chassis, I quite like that. 1303 front on the back?

Some think that if your beetle has a padded dash, it's an engine donor. Some think that if it has push button door handles, it's a boat anchor.
Do what you want. Ignore the elitists. Drive your VW. Enjoy life. |

imo this could be saved. Drop those headlights, strip it to bare metal. Different wheels. |

Somebody wrecked their beetle, then made the best of it.

That must have been a pretty new Beetle at the time, 65 or newer?

I mean, I wouldn't kick it out of the driveway. It's so goofy it's cool. |
I wonder if the gas jockey has his hand on the gas cap-tank in backwards?

OK here is Gigantor leaving the garage. First start on the engine and first time these sections of VW have moved for at least 40 years!
