Maxi Taxi: 1970 Volkswagen Beetle Kit Car
The seller of this next car describes it as a “dune buggy with doors” which is not entirely accurate. This is less a dune buggy and more a classic hot rod. The Maxi Taxi is a well known kit that adds pre-war 1930s styling to the rear engine Beetle and it would be more at home on the road with a Surfboard sticking out the window than on a dune somewhere in the desert. But wherever you drive this thing, it is cool. Find this 1970 Volkswagen Beetle Kit Car offered for $6,500 in Acampo, CA via craigslist.

Dunno that the maxi taxi fiberglass _adds_ pre-war styling to a VW. more the case that it provides an _alternative_ pre-war styling to the prewar KDF-wagen roots of Beetles.
