Look out Maverick here comes the Bug Truck

[WNYEscapee]

not PS

Did you read my comment? I was not implying that this was a photoshopped image. I know this is a real vehicle, and I was stating this looks better than the online rumor-mill images of vehicles which are supposedly going to blow the Maverick out of the water.

There was a lot to chose from in days past. AMC Gremlin gets my vote, and the Pacer...

Hilarious and hideous.

AMC Gremlin...I always thought someone could not figure out how to design the aft end, so they just cut it off.

what does this vehicle identify as?

Her or shim. Has to be a woman that owns it, or a girly man.

So much hate on this thing, but I un-ironically love this. It’s not something I would put my time and money into, but huge props to the person who did. The amount of work that went into designing this thing to look nearly factory-stock is truly impressive.

I love these weird car/truck conversions and this is one of the best-looking ones I’ve seen.

Because…

My wife spoted this in a local home improvement store parking lot and snapped a few pics. Pretty cool looking.

While I admit it does look a little weird, it still looks kinda ! I wouldn’t want one but I give it cudos for originality that’s well done! Probably for very light hauling.

Great conversion for one with back end damage. Lots of other models of these available for different cars too.

A Gremlin is essentially an AMC Hornet with the trunk cut off.

Wonder what the bed capacity is??....

Define "pretty simple".....Modding a vehicle by removing the C pillar and installing a $3.5K kit doesn't exactly scream pretty simple to me. Not sure what kinda skills you got but they must be better than mine! lol

Well, if you don't have the skills at the beginning you will at the end!

I do recall a few old style VW bugs that were converted to a pickup.

, so, AMC was trying to cut their losses..with a loss leader.

The engine is up front, like every New Beetle. And it's certainly eclectic.
