With a different tire/wheel combo, I could really get to like this one. Strange but true.

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.

Good fit for the Lemons Race. Not sure what look they were going for.
Neither the bus-like vehicle from Muppets Take Manhattan, nor the Ghostbuster's Ecto-1 quite fit the look.
Honestly looks like a church-bus? Well-executed (at least externally) but quite bemusing!

At first glance that blue Bug looked nice, than I saw the tail-lights and the more I looked the less I liked.

That pod-filter is in a good place to get punctured by large insects, rocks, or birds.
The Pepsi-wagon could hide an unmodified beetle in its forward blind-spot.

I believe the vent in the rear fender is part of a shelf from an old/vintage freezer or fridge.
Inventive, but(t) ugly. Such a bizarre mish-mash might actually work if it were the design for a space-craft in an anime, maybe even as a car in an anime, but in stark reality it falls flat of being a unified singular design.

This is similar to what a lab would create trying to create a mammoth using elephant dna.

| Wow that Ski Lift bug "was" a RHD. That photo just doesn't look too safe to me. |

Holy crap, that's insane! 
Did they run out of scrap to build the rest of the lift-cart and decided to use an old car they had sitting around?
Definitely not OSHA approved!
Looks like the skiers are sitting in the rear-seat area, likely so there's room for their skis.
