The Bug/Corvette Resto: Why Does This Car Exist?

Sometimes you come across something so weird, so funky and just so bad that it’s, well…good. This Frankenstein’s monster reared up it’s bizarre head recently and had people asking WTF?

Heres the description as it reads on Ebay: “Professionally built Volkswagen Beetle body with no rust, on a custom-made tubular steel frame and Corvette transverse leaf spring front and rear suspension. It has a Z4 400-hp Chevy 350 cu.in. V8 with a Corvette tuned port injection (TPI) system, aluminum driveline, Dana 36 rear end, and 16″ aluminum wheels with Z-rated tires. It has a 3″ dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. With the widened and flared fenders, this bug is 9″ wider than the standard ’71 Super Beetle, which gives it a bolder stance and impressive appearance. Tan leather interior.”

In case you missed it…400HP Chevy 350! Who is responsible for this? I don’t know whether to punch him or give him a high-five!
