For $5,500, This 1970 VW Custom Might Give You The Willys
For $5,500, This 1970 VW Custom Might Give You The Willys-April 2024

Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe custom VW has 'Bar Room Slut' painted on its ass like the automotive equivalent of a tramp stamp. That's not the only incredulous aspect of the car, but it'll be up to you to decide whether this car's price is worth bellying up to the bar.

Let's all rank us some Dune, shall we? First off, there's the Frank Herbert novel, then there's the David Lynch film adaptation of the same, and finally there's yesterday's . Now, I'm thinking that in most people's opinion they'd all rank in exactly that order of best to worst. Not only that but the buggy's 64% Crack Pipe loss indicated that its price wasn't all that popular either.

They say that residents of Texas' capital should keep Austin weird. It doesn't get much weirder…

Look, I know it's been all Vee-Dub all week so far, and I'm sorry for the lack of variety. It's just that there have been a bunch of odd-bodkins that have been turning up, and they've all been ass-full of Fahrvergnügen. In fact, today's is such a weird, misogynistic, clusterfuqofwhatthefuq that it just can't be ignored.

Let's start with the description in the ad which touts this Bug as a Custom VW Willys Truck. Now, I suppose it looks a little like a . Sort of. If you squint hard. There's still no mistaking the VW-ness of the donor car however.

That VW has a 1600 with a single carb, what is almost certainly a 4-speed manual, and disc brakes in the front. Enough of the hardware however, its the aesthetic detail of this custom that must be discussed.

I want to get right to the most notable aspects of this car, which are the reclining nudie girl etched in the back window along with the words " Please Do Not Touch" and the "Bar Room SLUT" adornment just above the quad pipes.

Now, I'm going to go out on a limb here and note that should you be seeking companionship, regardless of whether you're a dude or a dudette, pulling into the parking lot at the Black Angus in a car with "Bar Room Slut" painted on it is not going to attract you to the more genteel crowd. I'd paint that over ASAP if you're interested in spending time with anyone other than Rosie Palm. The girl on the glass? Well, give me some time to think about that one.

Other parts of the car to be considered are the good-looking Empi wheels which set off the extremely '80s graphics on the flanks and hood, and the Satan heads for tail lights. There's also the diamond-tucked interior which is very sin-bin-ish.

Aside from all that, the seller claims the car is solid and runs great. It's sort of a time-warp from the '80s which is when it was probably built, and hence it should carry a retro price as well, right? Well, the seller is asking $5,500 for this custom, and that's in today's money.

What's your take on this custom VW "Willys" for $5,500? Does that price seem like a deal? Or, does that, and its presentation, make it a total bar stool?

You decide!

2015 Subaru WRX STI: The Jalopnik Review
You throw the into a corner. In days of yore, the front end wouldn't bite and you'd start to wash wide. Subaru had developed the recipe for understeer. But this new STI... It bites. It turns in. This is a Porsche 911 fighter for a third of the price. Oh,...

For $12,000, Will You Like This Elite A Lot?
The Type 75 Lotus Elite is a far cry from its diminutive predecessor, but as today's custom edition proves, there's always room for improvement. You'll still need to decide if this Elite is priced to match its name. You know, if the Unibomber had yesterday's custom instead of his shitty...

Do you have an escape plan for when society finally crumbles? If not the you should, and today's Kingwood Camper might make for a perfect post-collapse mobile stronghold, that is if its price isn't apocalyptic.

How do you want to meet your maker? Should you buy and actually drive today's Go Kart, your obituary would practically write itself. You'll just need to decide if this is a cheap way to go. When I was a kid, I pined after having a go-kart or mini-bike, some...

For $1,950, Ahoy Matey!
The condition of today's Jeep can be best described as ship shaped. Despite that assurance, you'll need to decide if its price makes it see-worthy. There's an obvious reason the seller of yesterday' has had it sitting around for 4-years, it's just too weird. Apparently it wasn't that weird ,...
