Here you go race fans a genuine 9 second wayne penrose built engine in a 68 beetle.
Item number 120711716521 sorry dont know how to post links,this car is not mine and i dont know the owner.
cheers shane
Must be all that chrome tinware and clear dissy cap.
wouldnt even pull a 9 sec 1/8th mile down hill.
geez even a stock superbeetle and type3 will do 90mph 
Must be some pretty special fibreglass guard to ummm... rust
Obviously the owner has had the fuel pump off at some stage, bit heavy with a spanner!! maybe used a 2 foot/ half inch drive breaker bar to get that fuel pump tight????
notice how the listing has been revised since this forum post - maybe someone let them know about the impossibility of the claim.
wheres it say 9 sseconds ???

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr when I finish my car I recon it will do ninessss
" it has been hard to pin point the exact grunt of this motor as everything possible is fast and in second gear i got booked doing 82 in 60
zone."
"i havent flogged the motor or pushed it to its limit. i just drive it to and fro from work and to the local shops"
And the fibreglass guard is rusting too.
Its been bored out to the max.
It has a 3 1/2 inch exhaust.
this beetle was at my shop for new floorpan halves and an engine rebuild only back in 2001.......
the super hypo engine is in fact a 1642 engine with stock crank & rods , engle w100 camshaft , stock 040 dual port heads with a pair of 34mm
single throat webers .......
I now realise that I have stuffed up big time putting a 2868ml type-4 alcohol injected turbo engine in my oval to run 9's , when really I would have
saved a hell of a lot of money using this combination......
and the chrome tinware......thats gotta be worth a couple of secs ?!
Wow, only a $4000 starting bid!!
I'd really like to bid on this only every time I try to bid I get out bid......
Seriously what are some people thinking??
I think it takes 9seconds to start .....

looks like she is cheaking out the forum
"apparently to aussie v dub website "
lol, i cant remember the last time i enjoyed reading something that much :P that ad is gold and i wish i had noticed this thread before it got
revised.... i have no idea how they incorporated the 9 second claim but going by the rest of the ad it would have been brilliant
