Quaranteed to turn heads

If this is the wrong forum for this, I apologize. Even if, please keep it here for a day or so. This is funny.

First glance, I hated it. Then I saw the back. Then I liked it. It has a certain charm that few would appreciate and that's why I like it.
Buying it is another story.

Mercedes had an unnatural relationship with her neighbor's beetle.

I sorta half-way like it. I bid $57 for it.

I've seen worse VW hatchet jobs.

i wouldnt mind having that.

the contintental kit would have to go though! that is just too much.

i dont think i would pay more than the bid though.

someone is definately not taking their medicine though.

Should have personalised license plate: Y R U L A F N

OHHHH God no, please...Holy Zimmer, Batman.

I would love to enter this in a Mercedes ...or a VW car show, sit in my chair and watch the expressions on the visitors faces. Priceless.

another licence plate suggestion: BMW SUX

or: IXLR8 CU

Of course it survived Katrina. The damn things float.

Where's the engine? Hmmm.. in the back? In the front? A puzzle for the ages.

I think it's very well done. You may love it or hate it, but I'm impressed with the workmanship. I wish I could find this guy to help me fit a W108 grille onto a W115 hood!

Wow, it's up to 2 grand, and with a "rebuilt" title, whatever that is.

I think it's easier in states other then NJ to get something like that through.
My 300TD failed NJ inspection once for "Toe-In".
When I brought it in to be fixed, the guy was dumbfounded saying, they must have been scrounging for some reason to fail it, since it looked so nice and they couldn't touch it with any emission requirements.
NJ is pretty hostile to anything older than 10 years unless it has QQ (antique) plates.
