EP 300 Tony Hunter ELIMINATOR Bug 87' VW Trends Cover car Jan 18, 2025

Show notes

The 1980's was a time when pop culture influenced the car scene. Nowhere better was this exemplified than the "Eliminator Bug" built by Tony Hunter out of Loganville, Georgia. Imagine being 18 years old and having your car on the cover of a nationally published magazine. Being one of the first guys from the southeast to get the cover of magazine and to have your girlfriend on that cover as well. Talk about living the dream! That is Tony Hunter's VW story. VW magazines have mostly been featuring the west coast scene, especially in the 1980s. Tony's "Eliminator Bug" broke that ceiling. Listen to the story of building your first car and getting so many accolades then selling it after showing it for several years. Where is it now? You'll hear all about that on this episode.
