NON Chevy’s in the Wild

The 80's called and asked for their Cal bug back.
Gotta admit it - those damn things were fun to drive.

Back in the late 80’s my buddy turned his Bug into a Baja set up - flipped the front beam for massive clearance and put a Bus transaxle in it with skinny tall tires up front and a set of 36” Swamper TSL’s out back and of course dual KC DAYLIGHTERS on the roof.
Damn that thing was fun off road !
 
love these cars! had a couple 77-78's Anything special with the engine?

It has a Melling Ram Air IV cam.....Rhoads Lifters......Heads milled to give 9.25 cr.......Going to install Ram Air exhaust manifolds to 2.5" pipes with x-over. It should produce 400-425 hp.

Trying to get it installed in the next month or so. Get it tuned........then body and paint.

I'll update the build thread soon.
 
Saw this at a Mexican food joint. Gotta go back and check the car and the food!

Zoom, it's spikes running up the hood and roof. Mexican "Mad Manolito" car lol

I gotta admit that I am not certain either - I think it’s in the Chrysler family ?
I couldn’t stop and get a better look at it - the crew was loaded up and we were headed over to Mississippi for lunch grub again - - priorities!
