1969 VW Beetle Custom Hot Rod Pickup – V8-Powered | Hand-Built Frame | 5.3L LS | 4,300 Miles

This one-of-a-kind custom build started life as a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle and has been radically transformed into a chopped, channeled, V8-powered hot rod pickup. Blending classic style with modern performance, it combines a Beetle body, a 1949 Chevy cab, and a custom-fabricated bed, all mounted to a hand-built steel frame with an integrated roll cage.
