Well guys I've recently posted my truck up on CL for sale/trade and I've gotten an offer for a 1970 Volkswagen Beetle. It has been lowered 2 inches and the top has been chopped 6-7 inches,new interior, new engine, etc.. I'm gonna go check it out in person in a little while and I'll take some pictures and post them. He's sent me some and it looks very good from what I can tell. What do ya'll think?

 

wait...

which truck?

 

I would trade for something like that in a heartbeat.
Don't take me wrong...love my truck.
But a thuged out 70 bug would just be AWESOME! And you better take LOTS of pics!

 

Ok, just got back from looking at it. I'm looking at trading my '94 for it. It been chopped right, you can't even tell it. The doors close very good. the engine only has like 3000 miles on it fresh rebuild with all scat internals. the interior is brand new, the headliner has the VW logo in it. The turn signals have been shaved and new ones molded into the bottom inside front(if that makes any sense) of the fenders. The rear tails have been converted to round vette lights. Doors have been shaved. The only bad thing about it is a tree limb fell on the roof and it busted the bondo in a few places.

 

Personally, I wouldnt, but thats just me! Good luck with whatever you choose to do . . .

 

hmm....id say yes if it had no damage and still had the stock tails...they look alot better IMO.
I dont know man. maybe if he is offering a little $$ as well.

 

well, my truck still needs a **** load of body work, still needs some electrical, spindles, a new tps sensor, passenger front bag has a hole in it from rubbing on a bolt, a driver door to match the passenger door, exhaust, and my engine has 340,000 miles on it. The bug only needs the body work done on the roof, a shaved door kit, and paint.

 

Oh no, not the truck!!!
You could have at least given us a chance to talk you out of it and get first dibs on it. So sad to heard, but ya gotta do what ya gatta do!!

 

ok, well here are some pictures of it

 

dont dont dont dont do it

 

Tried finding it on CL, but couldn't. What are you asking for it?
Since I see pics of the bug, I guess it's a done deal. DAM

 

I think it is pretty much and even trade... but as far as working on it and parts... keeping the yota is a better move

now if it was this one on ebay

I like what he did with the taillights and the chop looks pretty good too. Personally I wouldn't do it, I think your truck is more of a looker than that bug ever will be but that's just my opinion. Besides, what would you rather work on, a Toy or that tight engine compartment of that bug. LOL.

 

Bumpin up with the guys. . . Keep your truck, you know its your baby. . . Searched for the link on your truck didnt find it. . . ( heads up ? )

 

Found it on Craigslist . . .

Everyone flag his ad! LOL. J/K

 

Man,that bug is killer.
There is somthing just very cool about an old bug like that

Do what you want to man...i would jump on it!
But thats just me,My family have been bug people for a long time...lol
So has the wifes!
Trade for it and then ill trade you my 81?!?!?!?!
lol

 

I haven't talked to the guy anymore, it looks alot like the one on ebay, just in primer. I really like the bug and I want to trade for it but the truck is still in my moms name and she's not digging the trade which is pretty stupid because it's my damn truck and I've done all of the work on it. if I get the bug it will be painted flat black and the fenders and running boards will be gloss red. If I can talk my mom into it then the bug will probably be mine. I can always build another truck and thats the reason I'm trying to sell it because I want to build another one. I'm gonna be out of town all next week, i'm going to florida but I will keep ya'll posted when i get back because I don't think we have internet at the condo

 

Hope you get it man.i would kill for a bug like that..lol
There so hard to find...Toyota's are a little easier to find.
