They had the radiator in the back where the engine used to be with electric fans. I used to have pictures on my old computer but were lost when it crashed.
The one I seen and was talking with the guy you wouldn't know it wasn't a stock Bug until he started it.
Here is one I found on You Tube..

 

​​​​​vw bug pickup conversions is becoming a thing these days, with some completed cars selling in the $50,000 range.

 

John's first picture is AI generated. There is all kinds of them on youtube. Including a '56 with a modern driveline.
There is a guy in Ottawa that I have talked to that put a V8 in a bug as well. Well done with no hood scoop as well.

 

Real or not it sure looks pretty.

 

I can't help wondering if this is cause or effect of the Kaiser/AMC merger? It looks like some kind of ******* child and resulting shotgun forced marriage.

 

A little too much involved to be ai .

 

 

I agree. There is a bunch of videos. I think the same person made them all. The trucks all look great. Often wonder if Ford or Chevy brought back the old body style with a modern driveline if it would sell. Think '57 Chevy 2 door with a modern LS motor and suspension. Or our old Ford pick ups with newer motors and suspension.

 

I've seen some AI designs of them that look real good, they even present them as something that is available...lol

 

The logistics of a drive train in something that is far more an exercise in art than practicality is somewhat redundant . Put a battery and a couple electric motors in it after you have designed it .

 

Obviously not done by someone with off-road experience. That truck will get hung up on the first ditch. 😧

 

 

 

Trying to do a General Lee..?

it takes talent to ace the landing like that!!!!!
