Please DO NOT bid unless you are sure you have the money. I canceled my previous auction due to the highest bidder not having the funds after all. Full payment upfront when auction ends. $4000 Buy it Now. Come and get it. Up for sale is my 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle with a front engine V8 conversion. It's been a project car of mine for 6 years now and it's time to part ways since we have a baby on the way. I have well over $10 invested in this car. Starting bid at $1. It's basically a VW bug body mounted on a '94 S10 pickup chassis. The vehicle runs and drives but it does need some more work. I'll get to that in a moment, but first, all the goodies!

If you do a search on google for "V8 Super Beetle", you can find build videos and forums posts on the car. I will not ship internationally. Buyer arranges shipping. You will have to bring a trailer.
