Volkswagen and LEGO fans alike are in for a treat with this one. Based on the iconic 1960 “Charlotte” model, the 16″ (41cm) long and 6½” (16cm) high LEGO Beetle features a series of realistic details and functions like opening doors, hood and trunk, a spare tire in the front and engine in the back, a movable stick shift, opening glove compartment and seats that fold forward. In the U.S., the LEGO Beetle is priced at $119.99.

A fair share of us Autobloggers were ambitious Lego builders as kids, but we never cooked anything up like this. From Crowkillers, the same hands that brought us the new Camaro made from the plastic Danish bricks, comes this replica 1967 FordMustang fastback, complete with model V8 engine, shaker hood, working suspension with live rear axle, 4-speed transmission, rear spoiler and automatic opening doors. No kidding. With creations like this – and the dozen or so more he’s got up on his site – we wonder if this guy didn’t have too much time on his hands, but hey, we’re bloggers. Who are we to judge? We’ll let you judge for yourself with the images in the gallery below.

Built entirely out of LEGO pieces by someone who goes by the handle “Crowkillers”, these scale models of that last remaining pony car to reenter the market are really amazing. It’s not easy to recreate the lines of a modern day muscle car using only square blocks, so it appears that Crowkillers dipped into his bin of Technic pieces allowing for a little more complexity than ye olde traditional LEGOs. We’re not entirely positive, but it appears each car is able to move under its own power, as well. They even feature fleshed out interiors and a mock V8 engine under each hood! While not official offerings from LEGO, the company responsible for much of my childhood delight could do worse than have a guy like Crowkillers on its payroll.
