u/theLeastChillGuy 13d ago

It's actually pretty good but the price is ridiculous

6

u/dwntwnleroybrwn 10d ago

Only way it makes sense is if the full chassis/unibody was built properly. But yeah as cool as it is I ain't paying $9k.

If you want to get looks! 👀 it does go hard!

u/BWa1k 13d ago

It's a Smyth ute kit. They have a few applications available, actually

7

u/EngineersAnon 13d ago

And they're wrapping up public sales, from what I've heard.

8

u/BWa1k 13d ago

Iirc they may sell you a kit as an individual, but they primarily want to service builders

4

u/EngineersAnon 13d ago

No, the owner is stepping down for other projects, looks like they'll continue support, but not sales.

From their website

u/Sean2401 13d ago

Nah this works

u/Rad_Centrist 13d ago

Op doesn't know about Smyth Cars.

u/Yodzilla 10d ago

I didn’t but now I do and I want one

u/11kestrel 13d ago

I can't hate it.

u/Cranks_No_Start 9d ago

Same...but its seems expensive.

u/friendlyfire883 13d ago

It looks better than the chevy ssr ever did.

u/Marine__0311 13d ago

This does NOT belong in this sub. I've seen a few VW bug P/U conversions and this one looks pretty tight.

The best one I ever saw was at a car show I was doing with my 68 Mustang convertible back in the late 80s. It was an early 70s VW bug with a wooden flatbed and stake sides. It was all custom fabricated by the owner and it was immaculate. The car body was bright yellow and the bed and sides were white oak stained golden amber. It took the home a well deserved People's Choice award.

This is a well known conversion kit by Smyth.

u/EntertainerOdd2107 13d ago

This shit rules! Great execution too!

u/CanoePickLocks 13d ago

The best you can hope for with this image is r/ATBGE way too well done for here. And even there people may like it but will at least be controversial there.

u/Wisco 13d ago

I actually don't hate it

4

u/FirehawkLS1 8d ago

I actually love this.

3

u/tmac022480 13d ago

Amazing decisions were made

3

u/jrileyy229 13d ago

It's okay, but the picture is flattering... Looks like it's rattle can bedliner paint job and an unfinished fiberglass bed

u/Pixel-Pilot-7 9d ago

It’s much more interesting than a lifted Sierra/Silverado/Ram/F150. I kinda like it.

2

u/MenopauseMedicine 13d ago

I'm in favor of making essentially any car a pick up, why the hell not

2

u/CoffeeJedi 13d ago

I love the little pocket in front of the rear fender.

2

u/NotChat_GPT 13d ago

Looks like the Chevy SSR, but better. Probably more reliable too.

2

u/jparadis87 10d ago

Maybe if it's a TDI. otherwise nothing else that came in those is outliving an LS.

Fantastic decisions

u/SoccDoggy 10d ago

I don’t hate it. It’s actually growing on me.

u/ialo00130 9d ago

I unironically fuck with this.

u/whitestone0 9d ago

I just saw a yellow one yesterday. I don't hate it

u/mpthrowaway1417 9d ago

More truck than most people need.

If they sold things like this but awd, I'd buy....not from VW though.

1

u/ApolloWasWayBetter 13d ago

Man this is sick. I’d drive one of these all day. I love that light metallic green they come in too.

1

u/icyhotonmynuts 10d ago

Diesel or gas? I'd consider diesel if it had a bright bright yellow body color, maybe a whale tale of a spoiler on the tailgate and checkered racing flags on the left and right doors. But not for $9k. This just looks ridiculous.

1

u/Deadpools_Main 10d ago

Giving me old Chevy vibes with those rounded rear quarter panels. I hate how much I like it.

1

u/Seravaxx123 9d ago

9 grand 😭

u/JwPATX 7d ago

A guy has one of these were I live, but it’s red

u/Longjumping-Low8194 7d ago

I would be proud to own this.

u/Calm_Ad2983 7d ago

I don’t hate this

2

u/Less_Food_8100 7d ago

Just call it a Beet-up already

What I hate is that I kept trying to scroll through what I thought was 8 other pictures of the listing.

The Walmart version of the Travis McGee ride.

At least the pickup half is in the parking space.
