The two originals are still kicking around in the USA (one is for sale at the moment)
I don't think theres any proper replicas anywhere though.
Call stockers boring if you want, but VW sure sold a lot of them that way

I was at nerang in gold coast years and years back when i was about 10 and im 16 now.
At the maccas there one day i saw a horace bug and a herbie bug parked side by side.
Never saw either of them again though and that was when i lived there.

I was just talking about this the other day!
Too many Herbie's on the road, not enough Horace's!
Someone needs to get an L bug and turn it into Horace.
Think a L would look pretty sweet as Horace.

I doubt it would be able to be registered. I guess it would just be a show car.
Maybe one day...
