I had one of these with a 2.0L four back in 1976. Never again.

Crazyfast, difficult to shift, uncomfortable ride, leaky roof, poor exterior visibility, not to mention firetrap from rupturing fuel lines.

"Back in the day," one auto journalist referred to the styling as "a coffin with a toaster on top of it."

That will be one of the cars you look back at and say I wish I had bought that one. What was the asking price, where is it, and is it still for sale. I have a buddy looking for something like that. A few years back I helped him build up a Karmin Ghia conv sort like that. It had 911 brakes and transaxle, a full tube frame/cage, tons of fiberglass, a 356 looking front end, and oh yea a Buick 4.1 liter v6 pushing over 300 HP. It was at a local VW bus shop after returning from paint when the shop burned to the ground. There was no insurance. Over 10 grand in parts and two years worth of work up in smoke. The car belonged to my buddy, and as a token of good gesture, the shop owner gave him a v8 powered beetle. It was a rat, but we got it running well and sold it for $4500.00, so not all was lost.
