5k Flash: 1966 Formula Vee; VW Powered; Tube Frame; Street Legal Death Wish

Custom built cars tend to be awesome or horrible, not much middle ground.  And when we say custom, we aren't talking about kit-cars; we are talking about honest real built-from-scratch madness.  Potentially cool in form and function, customs will always be unreliable and unsafe, but only because a production car has had millions of dollars and tens of thousands of engineering man hours behind its parts and assemblies.  This 1966 Formula Vee look-a-like with VW powerplant is for sale in Alpine, CA for $4,950 starting bid or $5,250 buy-it-now, via ebay.
