Does that thing qualify as "mid-engine"? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

In 78, I went to the World of Wheels car show in Atlanta, and there was a VW with a front loaded 454.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) There was also a gold plated Harley, it was 1978.. after all. M |

On some VW site, I saw a Ghia with a big block Olds motor. That thing looked a little more finished than this beetle. Both would be an interesting ride.

Hey was that World of Wheels car orange? I remember an orange big block Beetle from way back. It had widened stock rims and hubcaps so it looked very stock. It also had a huge motorized key in the rear decklid that made it look like a windup toy. The body was welded to a Nova chassis.

When I was like 11 or 12, my father and I started a project like that. We took an 86 or so Buick Regal, sawzalled everything off the chasis, then we towed it up to a buddys shop and shortened the frame. We got the Bug body on the chasis and partially mounted, and I lost interest, and so did he. He had already done one when he was like 18, so it wasn't a big deal to him.

This is pretty cool. I dont care for the BUG body.. but he has some $$ in headers...LOL
Too bad he is so far from me. Yank the drivetrain and junk the body/chassis. DJM ?? what site did you see this Ghia ?? Are you sure it was a Ghia ?? B |

I just ran across that Ghia myself! On The Samba. Here's the link. 455! Looks like a very nice conversion. Sale pending though.

You know... I remember the Beatle, but I think this one (at least used to be) black, with multi-colored graphic.. I may be wrong.. been a long time, but a big front-loaded 454 is hard to forget.
