The Future From The Past: 1970 Volkswagen Concept Car
File this next car under oddball because I’m not sure what to make of it. It is sold via Kijiji by an outfit that calls itself the Guild of Automotive Restorers in Ontario but they have nothing about the car on their website and the internet in general seems devoid of any info on the supposed 1970 Volkswagen Concept built by a California design firm. In fact, the only other reference I could find about the car was a posting on the Guild’s facebook page from 2017 of somebody named Billy trying to get the “VW Concept” running. However, it has some seriously groovy looks and could be an interesting auto archaeology project for someone with time to dig. Find this 1970 Volkswagen Concept Car offered for $5000 CAD ($3738 USD) in Bradford, Ontario, Canada via kjiji.net. Tip from MNMunky.

Description
This was built by an unknown person on a Volkswagen Beetle floor pan. History unknown, but weird and wonderful. Has been in storage for many years

It has never been licensed for the road and has been in storage for many years. Can only be licensed as home-built after getting it certified for road use. It is located about an hour north of Toronto.
The Guild is a pretty big restoration outfit just north of Toronto. At one time they even had a weekly series on The Speed Network. They usually deal with high end builds.
