Back up for sale. I had a buyer, but the deal fell through.
One-of-a-Kind V8 Beetle Hot Rod Pickup | Show Winner | 5.3L LS | Custom Frame
This wild custom started life as a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle and has been transformed into a head-turning hot rod pickup. Chopped, channeled, and powered by a 5.3L V8, it blends a Beetle body with a ’49 Chevy cab, a custom-built bed, and a fully hand-fabricated frame with integrated roll cage. Open to reasonable offers. May consider trade for another classic (trades would need to come to me).
