Sadly we'll never know. A VW lasting 100,000 miles is as likely as an engineer growing wings.

Such a niche vehicle, but to reiterate the previous posters, for the right person this could be the right price.

The Shriners could buy it for parades. Would look classy with a bunch of guys wearing fezzes rolling along at 5 MPH.

nice bit of a trolling piece. Gets one's hair crackling it does with it's flagrant glaring omissions.

THIS is something missing from the greater roads of America. NPed it just because it's so cool and no other reason.

I mean I am all about rat rods. But that thing is uglier than a bear's ass sewed up with a grapevine. But some other eyes may behold differently than I.

To paraphrase Bill Murray from Kingpin "are you sure this is NP?" "I don't know, but it sure is fun"

3D printing to replace old parts, brilliance! Surely someone can make this happen?
