I had a "Thing" in the eighties. You could not hurt it. You could yank the wires and pour cough syrup in the gas tank and it would run and run. I loved it although I found it difficult to get laid if I parked near a GTO.

Great Website, Thanks!!!
I've been thinking about building another bug, I miss my 1970 from High School.....

Notice the body is below the height of the curb! ;) the front axle wouldn't clear 3" at the center, and the exhaust wouldn't clear 2". It was pretty LOW!!! I had ZERO front suspension. The 135 tires in the front cleared the fender by 1/4" and NEVER rubbed. ;) It was like driving a go-cart!

I was thinking the same thing. My wife laughed when I mentioned it to her. I used to have a '65 when I was in high school. My first car.
