Howdy all,

If there were no restraints, or money cost problems, what kind of buggy would you all build?

For the sake of Fun, the rules would be :
1. Air cooled

2. What kind of body?

3. Kind of Top ( if wanted ) ?

4. Wheels?

5. chassis?

6. Tranny?

7. Wheel travel length?

Ok, lets get those heads working, itsd dream time!

I would build one like this............ :roll: :roll: :roll:
Lowered
centerlines
big nasty 2276
full roll cage
autometer gauges

That WAS my dream buggy. No constraints other than a "safety concious wife". Next car, the cage will be NASCAR certified.

no money constraints?

You might see something that resembles the work of Chip Foose
come outa my garage
still a streeter but mutch cleaner and allot bader

shorty off brand buggy from the 60s (no brand names for me)
twin super charched air cooled Porshe maybee 250+HP
15 and 18" foose wheels
all chrome chassie components with minor touches of engraving
air bags
10K watt stereo
full cage chrome
Bill Ks interior ( LOL)
and triple tone paint to be determined later
most likely white with farons pearl orange on the bottom
and a hint of purple and silver striping
if it aint broke, break it then fix it
