| As far as who built it yet to be known.I've got it setting waiting on owner to figure out what route he wants to go with it so as usual its in limbo but not on my behalf well just have to see if he's up to the task of what it will take to make it right and actually roadworthy.the 4plus years in Cali definitely didn't help it any. |

It is not "yet to be known". I have stated his name multiple times before. (I am the second owner)
On a side note, I had found Snork's sister and was trying to get in touch with the owner, but it has since disappeared from the house. Keeping my eyes open for it again.

I've got $50 of Bitcoin for whoever cuts the snork off of snorkelstang and posts a video of it.

I for one would love to see the Stang back on the road, a quote in the movie Lifeboat comes to mind "Either put up or shut up" if the owner hasn't got the funds or the drive to deal with this awesome blob of the center of the universe, sell to someone who does, It's not like the car is worth thousands of dollars. after all, it's an Abortion to the fullest extent of the law. Stop the madness. Let's get this Beetle, Ahhh, what ever it is, back out to the masses.

Dang, to think I did some dumb ebay research over 6 years ago to track this nugget down lol. Any updates? At this point owner needs to sell it. it was whored out with t shirts back in 2012 (still got them) and did the Classic but now it needs to evolve. I dont know how the samba has fared through the years, but facebook has damn near killed every other forum on the web. Miss the forum days....

It’s been a long time. Wouldn’t it be nice if GEX donated one of their turn key engines and this thing could get the love and recognition it so richly deserves ? |

Does GEX build Pinto motors, or whatever the hell this is?

You've got the dust layer, and a tarp, now how about some sort of background, semi-shrouded nipples.
