It is the only production vehicle in Brazil that already had all the possible configurations of fuel by the law:

gasoline,
alcohol,
diesel
 and flex.
 There was even a CNG option approved by VW.

Foose and Overhaulin transformed a 23 window VW... and it looks great.

A couple things that Chip and company did, they removed the great big VW from between the headlights (not a good idea) and relocated the turn signals below the headlights (great idea!)
