It was actually built in the early seventies, before I was born.
I'm running a 1641cc dual port vw type I with electronic ignition. Not exactly high performance, but I've always made it back to camp.

The easiest route may be to buy a knockdown frame for a couple hundred dollars, or just add a roll cage to a vw floor pan. It really depends on what you plan on using it for.

Check out sandrail.com
dunegoon.org
larrysoffroad.com
ebay.com of course
and any vw magazine or sandsports.
