Among the VW Microbuses at the Cars and Coffee this morning was this beauty. I may have mentioned it in a previous post, but the more I see it, the more I want it. I don't know the year, but it is the pick up truck version of the Microbus. This one has been lowered and modified to have the perfect look, and the bed is big enough for Rocket, and Razzo too.
I had it pull up behind me at a light near my office a couple of months ago. The windshield opens, as you can see in the photos, so I turned around on Rocket and asked the driver if he would sell it. I got an emphatic NO.
I will have to work on him.
Too Cool!
And useful too!
When I was a senior in high school ('93 - '94), I owned a '69 camper bus... It was a hit among with my fellow students, and it was a blast to drive (when it would run). Once, I was lucky to get it stopped for an intersection at the bottom of a local canyon--gotta' love hot drum brakes. I've always loved the old bus-trucks. They are very cool and far too rare.
ReplyDeleteI like it more every time I see this one. But I know that it would be hard to beat a Toyota Tacoma or Ford Ranger for the same task.
