This thing, IS a Thing. No, really.

Based on the VW Beetle, it was sold in the US in 1973 and 1974 for around or a little bit over $3,000. It had 46hp flat-4 engine, and detachable doors.

Now you know. You're welcome.

Looks pristine -- great flashy green and nice shine. Pretty good side-gig: "Pay Parking here"

I remember these, Mich, but I don't recall such a flare on the ragtop.

I need to find me one... and I'd drive it up and down the Woodward Dream Cruise.
