Title: One for Russell: Original SNG Car Post by: 71CALRIPPER on April 15, 2014, 07:49:05 am 1959 Vintage Drag Bug - Original SNG Car Price: $10000
Chop top time capsule built in the early 70's by Steve Godfrey. This is the original SNG car and was featured in Hot VW's June 1976 issue. Deano straight axle conversion still intact. I have currently ran 124MPH with this axle setup. This car currently runs under the name LIL Red and that is virtually the only thing that has changed on this vehicle. This vehicle will come LESS engine. Serious inquires only. Car is still currently racing but I will remove engine upon sale. Buyer will handle any and all shipping. I can email more pictures. Please email me with any questions.

the front decklid has been changed too ;-) Title: Re: One for Russell: Original SNG Car Post by: Zach Gomulka on April 15, 2014, 15:31:56 pm Definitely needs a lot of work but it should be put back into its old guise!
Title: Re: One for Russell: Original SNG Car Post by: mg on April 16, 2014, 18:34:42 pm Mb not the same car as this?
back in the 70's at OCIR "Liittle Red" was one of my favorite drag bugs. It was a clean all white drag bug and in smallish font on the doors it just said lil Red Title: Re: One for Russell: Original SNG Car Post by: speedwell on April 17, 2014, 13:27:38 pm MG, Definitively not the same car
here's a picture of both car running each other originally the SNG was named Small Car Goodies (steve's shop name) and later there was the white chop top bug ;) Title: Re: One for Russell: Original SNG Car Post by: mg on April 17, 2014, 15:29:22 pm big fan of the old chop top drag bugs, very cool thanks for the memories. 8)
another bump for a quick sell. :) Title: Re: One for Russell: Original SNG Car Post by: jick on August 14, 2017, 19:02:38 pm Let's update this old thread.....
So this old thing is getting loaded onto a ship tonight and will hopefully be arriving in a couple of weeks to Join the Stutt-Bee and Kid-Dean Squareback in my garage......😀 It's going to be getting the full CustomMotorBodies treatment so it'll be back in it's old SNG panel painted style in the future, although it could be a couple of years away, I have two other projects in the works that I need to get done first. So the title of the original thread was correct.....'one for Russell' Just not the Russell you were thing of.....haha. Title: Re: One for Russell: Original SNG Car Post by: leec on August 14, 2017, 20:15:36 pm Nice one, glad you got it. How's the fireplace? ;D
Title: Re: One for Russell: Original SNG Car Post by: 67paulo on August 15, 2017, 04:20:46 am Glad to see its going to a good home. Sat in my friends shop here in Oregon for many years......But has been raced recently by the last owner.
Enjoy it, it has tons of history. Title: Re: One for Russell: Original SNG Car Post by: Lids on August 15, 2017, 07:55:57 am Wondered when this would finally get a mention. Look forward to seeing it
