What site did you see this?

I'm still not convinced it's not photoshop. It looks like it has a lift kit. Either way, it's pretty awful.

Mr V- Were those a special edition from VW? I saw one driving around my neighborhood and I thought it was just some idiot who loved going to the junk yard.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

Funny..Just read about this before checking PT for the day. State Farm made it from a totaled 67 they had in storage to train their "Classic Car Insurance" appraisers. The Yellow half was a top notch restore, and the Red side was an example of sloppy work. Says it took them three years to make.

What bothers me about this build is that it implies modifications are just always bad. Granted, a non-matching numbers car with random things slapped on it is going to be worth less and is less likely to be well-kept, but I think this teaching aid car implies too much.

Sooo, painted cylinder heads are good, but unpainted aluminum cylinder heads are bad? Factory correct spoiler? Better get rid of that.

Why is that car sooo nose high?

State Farms explanation

As for the height, it does sit high. When we replaced the springs we ordered the correct springs for this vehicle (engine size plays a role in obtaining the correct springs and we did order the small block springs). Anytime you restore a car and purchase replacement springs the car will sit higher than we are used to seeing until the springs settle, only driving it will settle the springs (we will never get them to settle properly since we’re not driving it). We gave serious thought to cutting the springs down to get it to the ride height we’re all used to seeing, but we opted out of that to use it as a teaching point.

It sounds to me like they didn't do their homework. That's a LOT of settling.

i'd have to see it up close to see what they consider to be "shoddy" work.. i'm gonna bet that they did some bad bondo work and have gaps that don't line up on one side of the car...
