A Volkswagen Boonie Bug from 1972, a “kit” car built from plans published in Popular Mechanics magazine in the 1970s, was found for sale on Facebook Marketplace.
The model, inspired by the Beetle, was designed to be an off-road vehicle with features of a van and station wagon, promising comfort both on and off the road.
Despite its innovative concept, the car needs finishing and is being offered for $1,234, featuring a VW 1600cc Longblock engine and several Volkswagen parts. The vehicle was stored for seven or eight years in a barn and later in a garage.
The Boonie Bug is part of a list of the most bizarre cars launched in the last decade. These cars exemplify attempts at innovation that, while intriguing, were not commercially successful. With its peculiar look and off-road versatility, the Boonie Bug remains a rarity for sale.
