MUSCLE BUG
THE HEART OF A MUSCLE CAR, WITH THE LOOK OF A BUG !
I think that most of us gear-heads have been fascinated with small, lightweight cars with high horespower engines stuffed into them ! The most fun can be had if you can make it appear to be stock. A "SLEEPER" is the ultimate play thing !!
Take the timeless look of a Mid 50's OVAL WINDOW BUG, and add the classic "CAL LOOK" modifications, (no wing windows, or bumper over-riders, dropped in the front with a set of 145sr15 tires).
What you end up with is an innocent looking vehicle that will embarrass some high dollar Detroit Iron, as well as showing the "Import Tuner Crowd not to judge a book by it's cover "!
Add to this a beautifully detailed, professional designed and speciality built tubular chassis, mount a small block chevy, mated to a worked over 700R4 automatic with overdrive, and a beefy nodular iron Ford 9" rear.
Planted to the pavement with a tubular, Mustang II front suspension, rack and pinion steering, adjustable coil-overs on all four corners, and 4 piston caliper Willwood front disc brakes.
HERE IS THE RECEIPE FOR FUN
ENGINE
400 cu in V8 approx.320hp at the rear wheels. Edelbrock computer controlled fuel injection, with 100 hp nitous oxide injection, combined with the functional "BUG CATCHER" scoop, all custom built by Blower Drive Services.
TRANSMISSION
700R4, built automatic with overdrive, coupled to a LoCar shifter.
THIRD MEMBER
Narrowed Nodular Iron 9inch ford, 340 posi, Moser Axles, fully adjustable 4 link with adjustable coil-overs.
FRONT SUSPENSION
Mustang II style, tubular A-Arms, fully adjustable coil-overs, and rack and pinion steering.
TIRES AND WHEELS
Custom built steel VW wheels with a ford bolt pattern, concealed with stock VW caps and trim rings.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
Block Hugger headers, 2 1/2 dual exhaust, jet-hot coated with an H-Pipe between the "hidden exhaust tips" to allow the "Pea Shooter" VW style tips to function also.
INTERIOR
Complete custom leather interior, custom leather seats, with adjustable incline. Leather door panels with hidden door handles under armrest, power window switches mounted on the console. Colorado Customs matching leather wrapped steering wheel. Side windows are tinted glass, not tint film. Vintage A/C and Pioneer stereo with a 5 disc changer makes for great crusing !
THIS CAR WAS DESIGNED AND BUILT PROFESSIONALLY BY STREET ROD BUILDER, NORM FRANCIS OF EL CAJON CA. NORM SPARED NOTHING IN THE DETAIL DEPARTMENT. THIS CHASSIS IS A WORK OF ART. THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL IN EVERY ASPECT BLOWS ME AWAY. THE WIRING AT THE FUSE-BLOCK LOOKS LIKE A FINE SET OF EXOTIC CAR HEADERS. THIS CAR COULD NOT BE DUPICATED IN THIS QUALITY FOR OVER $100 GRAND, YET YOU CAN OWN IT FOR A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THAT.

i was asked about the gas tank size, it is 20 gallons, mounted below the rear window (or above the rear axle) for good weight distribution. The VW gas guage works properly.
