Years (decades) ago, in Detroit, there was a guy by the last name of Miyamoto...
He took an old Volkswagen Beetle, and converted it into a unique car. He used a BBC (454)? iirc.. installed it
in the front, built a custom frame for the car. He also made it, so the entire body would flip up, like a Funny Car! He tubbed out the back, had something like huge 14X32's tires on it.
Craziest part, was a huge wind up butterfly key, off the decklid, that would constantly turn while he drove the car...
It was hilarious to look at, back in the day.
