Gotta wonder how that little 4 cylinder 40hp. motor drives that rig.

The Volks has an air cooled engine in the back? Where's the engine in this must under the rear bed?

What's the asking price?

So you don't like it. No problem, don't buy one.

I think that would be just about perfect for 2 people camping. I don't think I've ever seen anything so unique.

Interesting unit a classic in its own right, I don't ever remember seeing of one these before.
A little more info here

The Beetle has a 1600cc dual port engine donated by a VW bus and is able to maintain 50-55 mph (80-85 km/h) on the highway.

As long as you stay out of the left lane you should be okay.
