1965 VW Bug w/ a Mazda Rotary conversion.
Now is the time to sell this bug due to up coming back surgery. If it wasn't for the bills, believe me I wouldn't get rid of it. This conversion was carried out by me. If you have every drove a rotary powered bug, all I can say is wow. Not only do you get the power, but you also get a reliable engine. No more messing with valves or tinkering with the air cooled engine. The engine conversion is a nice install and the body of the bug inside and outside is very clean. As far as rust, someone replaced the pan under the battery. But, other then that it's rust hole free. It does have current Texas inspection.

It was a lot of fun learning about rotarys. A would of never thought that you could get some crazy horse power out of such a small motor. On my next project I'm going w/ a rotary in a Karmann Ghia.
