I don't know how I stumbled upon these pics but thought some of them were cool!

I believe this one is just a concept right now:

And a few more:

Think I'd remove the wing off of this one & use some different wheels!

So sweet. Ive seen the blown vw bus before, but never seen the rest. I have a fascination with short vintage busses. Id love to make a camper out of one. 8)
 
Someone on this site owns the blown VW bus or one very similar.
There was a really good thread about it. Looked for it before no luck finding it.

If I remember correctly they were running Bonneville. Ran to lean and burned a piston.
Can anyone back me up on this?
 
A buddy of mine had a party bus business which he has since sold. This was one of his, I think he kept it. Bought it from some old lady in Oregon or Montana or somewhere like that. She lived in it a while while tending her pot farm! :lol: :lol: True story. He totally restored the whole thing, 454 Chevy motor & a really cool interior.

I saw a Prarade of progress bus in Michigan two years ago. SO COOOOOL! Got to go in it, what a view from up above. I thought my Corvan had a interesting view, that thing topped it for sure.
 
Thats just awesome!

Ok, done posting to many pics. lol.
 
Awesome! There is a lot of gold in that yard! I have always been interested in odd vehicles. May be looking for a bus now. I could take the whole family with me, or NOT!

Thanks for keeping the thread alive....
