Vw type 2 micro bus 23-window

I spent my childhood cruising around New England in one of these. Worst heat in the world, but, with the right tires, not bad in snow, especially if filled with 8 kids!! This model deserves an Interior. I have seen it made, and it does come out nice. I'm still in New England, but Lord only knows what happened to that bus! :)

I always liked the red/white ones. VW busses are red hot with collectors these days. I saw a stock-looking 23 window go for $100K in the Barrett-Jackson auction a few months ago. Here's links to a couple more Microbus models I've run across lately:

I drove one as a second party loaner for a few weeks once. It was actually kind of fun to drive after you got used to it. Unfortunately the engine overheated while I was driving and probably demolished itself. I learned later that you shouldn't go very far on an overheating air-cooled engine. I think the poor owner had to go pick it up. I just walked away. Hey, this was the '70s.

Retarded timing wrecked havoc on them!! They really needed all of those shrouds on the too! I got pretty good at driving one on two wheels, the side ones of course! :)
