Giant 40% Larger Volkswagen Beetle on a Dodge Truck Platform

Scott Tupper and his father transformed a 1959 Volkswagen Beetle by enlarging it 40%, resulting in a vehicle the size of a Hummer. Built on a Dodge truck platform, this custom car features a 5.7-liter V8 from a Dodge Magnum, maintaining classic VW Beetle aesthetics. The build includes modern amenities like power steering, heated seats, and an automatic transmission.
