You get what you pay for, I guess!

Huh? What am I missing here?

Not perfect for sure, but it doesn't look all that bad to me.

yeah I have seen that car on ebay many times. It just doesn't look right.

That one must be built on a bug pan, as opposed to a complete tube chassis ala Beck. It should be mid engine. The proportions are F'd. Too short out front, too long out back.

i agree.
it looks to be a nicely done car.
why wouldn't they put some caps on the wheels to "finish it off". cheap tires?

The vin is from a 1969 standard beetle,...think

I'm not sure it's barf material, but the rear engine throws the proportions way off, and it looks a little deformed.

it's no beck, for sure.


BTW, i would still drive it.

4-lug wheels are just wrong ...

That's a Perry kit, a far cry from a Beck or a Vintage...

The extra 8" or so behind the doors is what throws it off.

yeah, it's all fuckered up. It's like a fat chic - probably fun to ride, but don't let your friends catch you!

Yeah...it has an extra section 10-12 inches behind the seats because it's a tail dragger. It's just off, I expected to see a jump seat or a Jimmy Hoffa compartment or something.

I rate it as a

PUKE!!

Way different than the real deal.

A real one.

"Authentic Porsche Gauge instrument panel"? Maybe not. The VIN is from a Super Beetle. If it has a torsion beam front axle, the VIN is fake, leading to other potential problems down the road.
