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.

Is it also an optical illusion, or is that a barndoor next to it?

I think I saw this at a Cars'n'Coffee a few years ago in Ventura County. It was never going to be pristine, so it went max functional, and was very popular at the event. He worked up some canvas dust shields for the passengers, IIRC.

this would be very acceptable (except for price) if only they hadn't used a 1303/super bug! Shocked

I don't think using a 1303 was such a bad idea, IMHO.
Although, it needs to have the windshield chopped down about half of what it is, and a new top made.
It might look pretty good if you " German Looked" it.

But, it is way more than I would pay for it.

wonder why he's selling it.. maybe cause the tractor seat sucks ass over 12mph.


Those are actually quite comfortable. I have one on my bobber, but it's sprung to the frame because, yes, nothing will be comfortable with no springs or suspension at all.
