Fordson beatle vans?

Anybody have a pic my dad was just showing me a pic of an airplane and there was a really cool looking van in the background and he said it was a fordson beetle and he said that he had seen the in Italy in wwII?

 

There was an Ebay link on the Chrome Czar board that had this attatched...

 

It just got re-listed with a BIN price of, get this, $18K (dollars, not pounds)

wow thats it!! how cool would that be.

 

That would make a great Teardrop moterhome!

 

I think it's a bit overpriced - granted it's historic and all that, but c'mon - it's an industrial truck. I agree, it'd make a neat camper-type ...thing... for lack of a better term, but not at $18K

 

did alot of looking online for any pics or info found zilch but someone snapped it up!

 

that thing is far out.

 

Unusual...but it looks like a dog hunched over taking a ****.

 

What was it used for? There doesn't appear to be enough room inside to store anything for deliveries.
Looks Renault...or maybe Citroen designed?
The French had SOMETHING to do with it!!! LoL

I'd like to have one though...

 

Paul, I can see you, and like 10 dogs, cruising in that!

 

"Vehicle Description

Sorry for the relisting, but I decided to add a buy it now price. This vehicle is in remarkable condition, it’s been in dry storage for the 12 years, it’s a flat head V8, it starts and drives perfectly, it was allegedly built in 1936 for the soul purpose of raising and lowering Barrage balloons around airfields along with another 43 of them for use throughout the second world war, this one is reputed to be one of only two left in the world, it will make a magnificent restoration project, I would be willing to ship world wide after full payment is received including shipping costs, these costs will be the responsibility of the purchaser to sort out for themselves, I will be quite happy to load it into a secure container on you’re behalf. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time as this vehicle is also advertised elsewhere. Happy bidding."

That thing is bad ***!

 

Can anybody else see this thing lowered with spun discs and zoomies!! Maybe I am nuts?

 

what ever you are on, i want some!

 

Hey who knows you could be lookig at barrette-jacksons next $4,000,000 vehicle. Carlg

 

rear shot

 

somebody please photo chop it. perdy please

 

I love it. Flathead powered, COE, with giant Divco-looking wheels. Personally I'd restore it rather than customizing it, but you could put some speed equipment and twice pipes on the flattie.

Of course, you'd need to find a barrage baloon.

 

Here's a quick and ****py version.

 

And ruin the red wheels

Anyone know if it sold?
I mailed the guy the first time he listed it to see if he had a price in mind as it is only 40 miles away from me. He refused and then re-listed it with a buy it now of $18K then pulled it.
I can't believe anyone paid that especially as he had very poor feedback with comments about jacking the price up after the auction ended.
