1968 Porsche 911 with VW Bug Engine

Take a 1968 Porsche, a Volkswagon 1.7L Bug engine and a faux aged paint job and you have yourself a car that is going to start a lot of “conversations”.

The car didn’t arrive with an engine so you can’t get onto them for getting rid of a flat four. The transmission came from a VW Bus.

A custom sub-frame and notched rear frame was made to allow for a narrow front end and lowered ride height. The strut assemblies were shortened four inches. The arms and torsion assemblies were brought in ten inches and raised six inches. The rear end was lowered six inches. The engine and transmission was raised three inches. The floor pans were removed and replaced by custom ones again to help with the lowered ride height.

The auction ended with a final price of $6,350 from 39 bids.
