Heres one for the V Dub Dudes.. a VW Gasser?

Pretty cool

 

you make it sound like the first?! it is pretty cool admittedly, shame the engine's in the wrong place - if your're going to do VW G***ers, it's got to be proper vw g***ers! like these:

(some NHRA record setters in here, although none of my favourite - Lil' Snort...yet)

 

that last one's mine

 

This is only going to encourage them.

 

Marcus, That one reminds me of a car my neighbor had when I was groing up. 1952 VW G***er, 401 Buick, Four Speed. I wish we could find it today as the guy would love to put it back together for the street. Years and 20/20 Hind Site really get to you.

Well ****, I'm not complaining, I'm digging that '70s Ann Maragaretish sweet thang in the B/W photo.

 

oh boy! More VW's on a TRADITONAL HOT ROD AND CUSTOM message board!

YIPPEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yuck....

 

I don't wanna argue with the anti VW guys on here... And actually I agree it doesn't really belong here (except for the old VeeDub dragsters maybe), but I just wanted to show you this...
I bought this mag only for this car... '57 Oval window built by Aaron Broughton (So Cal Speedshop guy). Personally I think this is one of the cleanest and nicest cal-lookers ever built.
I saw a photoshoot in a German mag today and it had a For Sale sticker on the window...

Because I said so.

 

hahaha....Ah **** now look what I did...

FINE! next ****in post i see on an Anglia or Fiat i'm gonna cry like a little girl, just like the rest of you *****es!!

 

Traditional in one neighborhood may differ from another. A VW can be a hotrod. I can appreciate all types of custom cars. Just some people think they are too good for certain cars. I have built many customs. Including VW's.

 

This one's pretty cool ...

i think that is mostly the case here. i don't see how a pre 65 Beetle is any different than a pre 65 Anglia (BRITISH), Fiat (ITALIAN), Volvo (SWEDISH) or any other pre 65 non-American vehicle, i just don't get it. i'd rather hear about ANY car as apposed to hearing about some Rockabilly band or what old celebrity died this week. what i really don't get is, if these people don't like the **** WHY DO THEY READ IT?? and better yet WHY DO THEY RESPOND TO IT??? my dog has more sense!!!

LOL thats funny!!

 

If it looks like the Smith or Hildago VeeDubs, it sure as **** belongs here. If you can't see that, you're friggin' blind.

Like I said before being a Cali Kid all my life Beetles were always around the rodding scene..I dont quite get how they arent considered traditional hot rods or even Kustoms..??...Like i said before also...Wasnt there a chopped Beetle on the movie the Hollywood Knights!??!How about the AC Cobra,as well the Cad Powered Allards.. I guess they arent hot rods either or traditional..?????

AMEN BRUTHA!!!

BTW i want to build myself a Beetle just like the one in Hollywood Knights, louvers, chopped top, suicide doors!! HELL YEAH! ...di ya ever notice that the guy who was driving that Bug was named "Wheelie"? i'll bet that ****a would do some sweet wheelies with some slicks out back!!

 

There was a Beetle like that here in Fremont...Sometimes I wonder if that wasnt the same car...When Goodguys were starting out..they used to have Bug shows and drags at Fremont,Some of these cars were just beautiful to look at..and the thing about Bugs were they are cheap to build and easy to wrench on...at the street races there was a white Beetle that was supercharged he shut down everyone except the Tubbed boys..****er was running 10's no doubt on the street!! I know I busted raggedy racing balls about Beetles because that what we used to do at the street races,because no way could you admit as a hot rodder or muscle car man that you liked the VDubs,but at 32 years old and having owned one myself,I dont care,they are cool little cars and were engineered very well..If anything they were inspired by Henry Ford! take em or leave Bugs will always be a part of the scene..

That said, I have to pay the ****ing bill at the end of the month and VW's aren't worth the dough to me.

HMM! thats fine, it's yer show, run it how ya want. but correct me if i'm wrong, but don't we, the faithful HAMbers, voluntarily bring in enough to cover all the costs of this place?? i'm just askin. i know you've gotten some of my cash. i also know it takes alot of YOUR time and i'm not tryin to be an ***.

again, it's yer show. i feel i made my point in the post above, take it how you will...

 

Same here...

Either you are completly missing the point or I am...
Its not about the Bugs or the Porsches, it is about showing some consideration.
Posting one VW post after another is not going to make them cool to somebody that does not like them.
I love these cars, and it is even starting to irritate me...
I never had a Anglia guy or a Topolino guy try and "save" me, but it seems there are a couple of Volkswagen fanatics that have made this theyr mission in life...
