: : The Beetles have the engine in the back over the rear(driving) wheels If you cut away at the Maverick's rear of the car it would make it too light to get much traction. With the weight over the front end the tires would want to sink into the sand. Its a cool idea just not very practical. I have seen buggies made with Pinto engines in the back with a special transaxle. Just my $.02 Russ
