Wow....just wow.
 

I saw this car on our local Craigslist and thought the pictures were interesting enough to post here for posterity purposes. Listed as a "Convertible Porshe replica 959".

BTW: I know how to spell Porsche...it was misspelled in the ad.

Yikes! VW four banger?

WOW - all show and NO go!

yikes, what did get hacked for that thing? It has 4 lug wheels but its rear engine - so did they do the opposite of a 914-6 and transplant 914 suspension to a 911/912?

it's build on a VW Bug chassis.

baller.

Honestly, I don't see any show either.

The horror. The horror. Thanks Scott now my eyes are bleeding.

um..... no. Just no.

Ha ha - good point!

It looks like a decently executed..... bad plan.

Just noticed that is shag carpet on the rear of passenger compartment. May not be a vw bug mod... may be a vw van mod.

Sheep in pig's clothing . . .

Don't I see some Karmann Ghia in this?

+1 on the ghia

I believe that's playa's ride.

You know, you see these abominations all the time. I would love to talk to one these people and ask, "why"?

FYI: Info on build from ad:

359 classic by C.M.C.
Rock solid frame that bolts to a bug pan
914 motor and transaxle
912 front end
4 wheel disc brakes
motor is balanced and built with 2.27 liter pistons with cam and 44mm Webber carbs.

Good grief....

that would be difficult to save.

Every time I see one of these projects, my only thought is, "That cost a lot of money and time. How could a group of people proceed with such a project without somebody saying, 'Wait a minute, guys.'?"

It's like sitting on the wrong end of a branch as you saw it off the tree. Doesn't anybody eventually see the error of their ways? I'm mystified every time.

Its an ABOMINATION . . . . . .just Morally Wrong . . . . .:D

It's missing more bling! LOL

It sure looks as if it was a lot of work to do this. So what?

Save from what? and why?

So, you're saying, that it won't just buff right out?

On the other hand, I'll bet those sub woofers kick some serious behind....

Damn my eyes!!! I agree with the WHY? question. To each his own.

don't tease me bro
 

Scott,
You know that I just sold my 73 and I am on the hunt for the next big thing.........don't tease me with these clusterfuchs!!!

There's one saving grace - the guy didn't start with a real 356. Though, old bugs are getting more rare too.

As always, it's an answer to a question nobody ever asked.

Do the owner a favor and remove the fire extinguisher. You can't take any chances with something like that.

I sorta like it, but would never destroy an old VW to build it.
If local and cheap enough, I would definitely pimp it around town.

uggg
Did you ever get the wind knocked out of you?
Kinda does that to me....

A rare sighting of dipso's "porshe"

Guy wants $9000, says its been appraised at $20k.

Odie refused to even consider riding in that, and he likes riding around in cars:

Odie is a Labradork, and has very low standards, hence the "Cruiser. BTW that picture is about 15 miles from Santa Cruz Calif.

Gotta love the white stuff when you can drive 15 miles out of it....

A darn shame on that portcha; but a nicely polished turd...

One Similar in Australia
