Ugly and not cool... a look that would be better left to cool hot rods, not ugly mid 70's Satellites

I've always disliked the 400 engine... just no place for it in a 383, 413, 426, 440 wedge big block line of respectable engines. Name one thing you can rescpect a 400 for... and the crowd goes silent

I've always liked the Flying Tigers Motif, but even a cool thing like the sharks grin can't make this ugly car better.

Runamucka of Jerry Logan, built by Lonnie Gilbertson... one hell of a Flying Tigers motif

 Cool old steering wheel stripped of some extra weight that isn't needed

 cool center console

from ear to ear with the flying tiger grin

Stuff that caught my eye at the Irvine Bugorama this past weekend

Didn't know what this was, but Steve came through again! It's a Mexican-built Volkswagen "Hormiga" (means ant). They are known in Germany as the EA489 Basistransporter.

Nice clever way of mounting the portable Coleman stove
Lots of vintage coolers in the swap meet area



Above is a very early bug deflector, below is a tag I've never seen before... don't know what it's about. Maybe a customizer? Or a dealership?


Lots of matched luggage sets

Interesting and cool top




When the new Beetle was first sold about 6 years ago, it was instantly the best way to advertise your company... because everyone looked at it. I never see those advertising Beetles anymore
