 |

Back in the mid to late 80s one of the VW mags did a feature on a rod styled fenderless beetle called "Rodbuster" I think. It was a very clean for runner of the modern Volksrod concept. Anyone no of any pics or links to this car.

This is " Rodbuster" as you can see its not a fenderless bug, Its a Ghia.

I think the car you're referring to is a red bug? Black Carson top? ...is that the car you're talking about? If so I MIGHT be able to get a couple of photos....

The red and black volksrod was called "rodbuster" in the VW Trends issue, june 1988. Built by Denny and Dale Jones in Colorado.
