This striking Volkswagen-powered Bugatti Type 35 replica, currently residing in Troy, Missouri, is a testament to craftsmanship and automotive passion. Built from a kit acquired by Joe Messler of St. Louis in 1972 and later reunited with his family's lineage, this circa-1927 icon showcases an elegant fiberglass body in a deep blue hue, artfully mounted on a modified Volkswagen Beetle chassis. At its heart lies an air-cooled 1.6-liter flat-four engine sourced from the ever-reliable Volkswagen Beetle. This unique blend of timeless Bugatti design and robust German engineering ensures an engaging driving experience for enthusiasts fortunate enough to be behind its wheel.
