1975 VW Beetle Custom
If you are a gear-head, your taste in 60’s spooky sitcoms probably leans more towards the Munsters vs. The Addams Family. The Munsters had their Barris Koach and Grandpa’s Drag-u-la whereas all the Addams Family had was a V-12 Packard. Maybe if they had this VW with a 351 Windsor in it, your viewing habits might be different. Find this 1975 VW Beetle Custom for sale in Grand View, ID for $12,000 via craigslist.

I feel used. But not as used as that pickup truck in the background missing the front drums and the Chevy II missing its rear end. Can't wait to see what those are morphed into. The absolute genius of selecting primer gray as the engine color allowed the carb to be sprayed, when it might have otherwise been ignored.I love image 21 of the ad which shows the top of the jack stand having been freshly repainted in the same black as the surrounding bits of drive line.
Your Image 21 reference, LOL, good eye. The whole "Damn-the rear axles/assembly must be new" idea the seller was going for went right out the window. 😀
