  • Custom VW One-Seat Roadster

    Custom VW One-Seat Roadster

    It’s a bit difficult to classify this oddball, but roadster isn’t too far off. We see sand rail styling influences, but no off-road capability.

  • Rat Rod 1967 VW Beetle

    Rat Rod 1967 VW Beetle

    The brown is strong with this one. Here we have a heavily rat rodded ’67 Beetle with luggage rack, rear fender skirts and many a personal touch.  This is truly an oddity and we’re definitely drawn to it! The engine is a 1641 and was rebuilt within the 4K miles, per the seller.  The exterior…

  • Omna Auto Bug Box: Beetle Conversion

    Omna Auto Bug Box: Beetle Conversion

    As a follow up to our recent Vandetta post, here’s a more old school Beetle van-ish conversion.  This one has a lot of needs, but it looks like it’s all there.  This was done using a “Bug Box” kit from Omna-Auto back in the day. The seller says this needs pan repair and a starter.…

  • Just another VW Beetle-Based Camper

    Just another VW Beetle-Based Camper

    Once upon a time, we posted a thing of beauty known as the “Little Bugger”.  Here was have a “Super Bugger”, which appears to be a very similar – if not the same – RV kit based on  a classic VW beetle. Maybe the purple paint with flame job makes it super?  The structure looks…

  • What’s a Rib Jet?

    What’s a Rib Jet?

    Well, it’s this.  Don’t confuse it with the riblets sold at Applebee’s.  That doesn’t really help, though.  Basically, this was the builder’s idea of a custom car with fighter jet influences.  Underneath, it’s a 1962 VW Beetle. If this is your type of thing, go for it.  This car appears to be in very good…
