I just sold my 1962 VW Ragtop beetle so i moved to this. I like old aircooled VW's. I didn't know it needed an engine until i drove some miles... money pit... lol

I just buy random shit that i think is neat (at the time).

It is not a chick magnet but definatly is an attention getter... mostly middle aged men, in case anyone is into that...

What an AWESOME van! Split window Kombi! Even tool box doors, on the side. That puppy is going to be worth a fortune, if you restore it correctly. Please do this! Please, please, please...

There are only a small handful of these still motoring about.

At least you have the wheels under you instead of behind you like a wide body!

Plus, you will be first on the scene of an accident. Recommend closed casket!
