Is a V8 powered, front engine Corvair an abomination or an upgrade? I'm sorta torn on that question, but I guess it is better to put a Chevy V8 powering the rear wheels than a transverse Buick V6 pushing power to the front...now that would be a real weirdo. Still...I can't help but think this thing needs some sorta pancake shaped enough hanging out back. Find this 1961 Chevrolet Corvair offered for $8,500 in Harrison, AR via craigslist.

Many a V8 swapped Volvo bricks have graced these pages, but few have all the qualities to make a truly primo driver. This is not to say that a car with an automatic or a sedan is a bad car by any means. Most would agree that the top of the food chain for these swapped cars is a manual trans equipped wagon. If you were to nitpick anything with today's wagon, it only has the Vanilla Ice era 5.0 Mustang engine which is not as powerful as a modern GM LS and it is painted a pedestrian silver instead of say poop brown.

I can't agree more that when the seller says this car is a "Must seeeeeeeeee" because I'm having a hard time justifying the images on the pages with what I know about Volkswagen Beetles. Just how does a Chevrolet V8 fit under the front hood and how does power get to what rear end...it's like I've just seen a picture of a blimp and you tell me its a submarine. Find this 1971 Volkswagen Beetle V8 offered for an undisclosed price in Thousand Oaks, CA via craigslist. Tip from Sean S.
Some things are just not done. Considered taboo, blasphemy or bad form, they just break traditionally long held beliefs. If you are not a traditionalist and constrained by old notions all bets are off. Throw off the yoke of convention and watch the old guard yell and scream. Take this to a German car show and you will be politely and efficiently asked to leave; to a Ford Mustang meet up maybe they will let you stay hood up. Find this 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL/Mustang Cobra engine swapped beast on Craigslist in Indianapolis, Indiana with an asking price of $4,500.00 cash preferred.
