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.

Here's another that just came up for sale.
I thought the previous one I posted was a one-of-a-kind. I didn't realize they were a short-run "production" abortion.

Oof, that looks like a hard sell, especially at that price!
Wonder what the undercarriage looks like...
What do you suppose the chassis was reinforced with, OE stiffeners or home-brew?

Nope, they're visible behind it and below it, respectively. (the prop appears to partially block the headlights, might not be legal?)
