I was not a fan of that stupid hood with the useless scoop, either.

How much horsepower do the chromed valve covers with sPYdeRVr4 painted in bright blue add?

Exactly what I came here to say. I was thinking maybe, then got to that pimped-out engine compartment and immediately flipped to a solid NOPE

Rob, that ND vote caption is perfect. I want to like this crazy glorious gull-winged chariot, but no. For that money there are probably much more glorious shaggin’ wagon conversions from the ‘70s and ‘80s built on proper van platforms with V8 power. And with fantastic air-brushed murals on the side.

Holy hell, over 4 hours after posting and I’ve never seen a ratio like this

Sure there’s rust, but that can be dealt with. Doubt you’ll find a running model with an interior in such fine fettle for less, and these are only going to go up in value. NP

Think this is the first post ever where I thought the seller could’ve asked twice the amount and I’d still vote NP

I realize Jalopnik wants all ICE banned tomorrow, but could you just leave us our V8 Mustangs for a bit longer? 

I assume next you’re going to call for theme parks to be shut down because you don’t approve?

Nope. Had a 2-door Jetta in the ‘80s. It sucked. For this much money you can buy a real car from Toyota or Honda.

One-owner, well-maintained, low miles, be tough to find another one this nice. NP

Agree that it’s a NP, but what makes it so is it’s one-owner, maintained, low miles, and unmodified. Start screwing around with trans swaps and you’ve killed the collector value. If you want to build a big-ass car to hoon around in go get an old Crown Vic Police Interceptor for a quarter of the price

Filling the trunk with bodies and driving it into a lake is probably the best use of this hideous looking car. 

That’s a really shitty thing to say about run-over raccoons. 

This car just looks wrong. Like it was designed by a group of 1st graders using crayons, then assembled from parts taken from three other cars. 

You, sir, have unique tastes. I appreciate that. 

You could drive it on a glass-smooth road and it looks like the tires will rub. 

The interior looks nice, if the mechanicals are all solid I could see taking off the T-tops and having a bit of fun cruising around. If it was somewhere in the mid 4-figure range. At nearly $19K no way in hell. 

Well, it is Friday

Seems I’m solidly in the minority when I say NP. Do I want this car? No. Is it stupid to pay five-figures for a 40-year-old Golf with 74-hp? Maybe But I get that some people want these, and if you’re one of those people it would be hard to find a nicer one. If there’s a specialized Craigslist for sororities list it…
