    Looks like you could buy a karmann ghia with a title and slap the body on...then the STI motor...then...

    Always one of my favorites. Too much (for me) and too far.

    Thankfully.

    In reply to racinginc215:

    I thought I read that they were sold as kits also? Anyways isn't keeping the frame, suspension, engine, transmission, steering and floor pan what you do when you make a kit car out of a VW? I never said try and make it a Puma...

    That's super cool, I've always loved those. Seems like a decent enough price if it's complete and the fiberglass isn't too shabby.

    @racinginc: Please don't try for a repeat of what wasn't one of this forum's prouder moments. :-)

    On a similar note this showed up on my local CL. Trying to avoid the tempation. I've seen Pumas but I've never seen one of these before

    The 70s models were powered by ACVW but 80s models like this used watercooled VW stuff. Methinks its screaming for a VR6 swap.
