My dream VW bus - chopped w/blown SBC power!

Safari windows would probably be nice for cooling that beast. I kinda wonder about it breathing through those dryer ducts too. Very cool.

 

Ahhhh my friend had a 63 crew cab that has a 351 winsor and a Jag rearend..

And thats a kick in the ass!!!!

 

well that sure changes my attitude about vws..flynn

 

Now thats what i call a serious van

 

Wow, I want one of those!

 

Ken drives that thing all over the place, if you see it somewhere other than NW PA he drove it there.

 

I have some pics someplace I took of it at the Nostalgia show at Lancaster, NY last year. Friggin' cool. If I can find, them I'll post them.

 

DRD57 here on the hamb has a bunch of detail shots of it when it was at boneville, on his photo page. copied them all in my computer. need ideas for the notchback sitting in the back yard.

 

BUMP....
I dug this up because it's my Dad's Bus, he's my Hero and quite frankly, his Bus is so Bad Azz that I felt that some noobie Hambers (like me) may have missed it first time around.

 

Thhat bus is insane!

 

way cool

 

He ran at Maxton NC last year or year before and blow up the motor.

Rented a uhaul to take her home,

But I've heard that its already back on the road.

Really nice guy and Really good work on that bus....

Its been around for many years.......

 

Yer right, he drove it down from Pennsylvania to Maxton.
Ran a warm up at 130mph and on the second run he opened her up and blew the motor. He was bummed to trailer her home, but, it was just the excuse he needed..... last winter the motor got bigger and meaner.
He'll probably be back, I wonder if he'd let me take 'er down the track?
yyeeeaaahhhh, right!

 

real cool. it has to be hot, and noisy in there, how do the hippies stay mellow?

 

The 60's were a very unique time. Some hippies chose gasoline and motor oil as their prefered drug!

 

kenny p, a fellow finhead.super craftman-been doing it forever... also has safari windshields in it now...

 

still disgusting... just so you know this is a traditional forum. where that is not a traditional vw... vw purist well are way worse the how you guys look at the word traditional. nothing tradition about anything with a radiator and vw....

a chop top split bus with a v8 = boydster but worse. way worse..

 

I wouldn't worry about it too much. This thread is over 3 years old and the mods have yet to shut it down.

 

Uh ohh...looks like you're sensitive soft VW side has been bruised.

I'm sure glad it's not a "traditional VW".

 

That's one bad ass bus! I would love to see that thing ripping down the salt

 

Get a grip. Seriously, use both hands and squeeze your neck really, really hard for as long as you can, that way I don't have to read anything else like this...

Wicked cool dub, by the way, I love that thing!

 

JUST knew that was coming

 

Did he get someone other than Tregler to build the motor this time?

 

thats bad ass seen one on a s-10 frame once. thay make some nice rods

 

Really dude?

 

That bus is badass...I would love to see and hear it run.

 

I have seen it at Harbor Cruise '07(put on by the local Lakeshore Street Rod Club) ...You gotta see this thing in person if you even kinda think it is neat! Nice craftmanship too!

 

Cool bus! But it's NOT a Microbus guys!!!! Just a VW Van...

 

The body style on this particular VW Type II is known as a 'Kombi'.

The blanked out rear side windows tell all as these were marketed as a combination passenger and panel truck. Hence the name Kombi.
