Wonderbugs. Are they sort after?
Bertie_64 - September 10th, 2007 at 09:42 PM

Came across a 1971 Wonderbug for sale. Apparently they were only made in the USA. They have (I think) a 1940's Ford Chevy front on them. Does anybody know anything about them? The history? How much are they worth? Are they rare in Australia?
Thanks!!

I've found a link on Ebay. This gives you an idea on what they look like for people who haven't seen them before.
