Friend has two of the old P/U's, not a chance he'd part with them for any amount of money. Or so he say's.

They should bring them back and make it a "smart"-bus.

My neighbor's girlfriend has one that they've been slowly fixing up. Her favorite uncle willed it to her. Been garaged, hardly any rust at all. Metallic pea, as the Griswald's would say. smile

owned a couple of them... I have a real soft spot for them, especially the pre 68 model...under powered as hell, they give a new meaning to slow...

when you are going up hill and a kid on a 10 speed bike is passing you kind of slow....

I love them IN SPITE of their popularity with dope smoking hippies...

I had a friend with one. He hated it for winter use. It had no heater and driving on slick roads in a wind was high risk for a slide off. The wind would catch the front end and bye bye.

Came across one abandoned in a stream bed a few years back. Might have to see if it's still there, though would probably be a beotch to try and get it out.

Used to know a girl back in the day that drove a crew cab VW bus w/pickup bed. That was an odd looking vehicle.

Holy kshizzle! I drove one very much like that in high school, except the windshields didn't open. A '64 IIRC.

Jacked up with a FORTY HORSE motor instead of the original thirty six grin Never could get it to burn rubber, step on the gas and all it did was get louder, not faster. Seven or eight people in back and when you turned hard at speed the inside rear wheel would lift clear up off of the ground grin

But we was immortal back then.....

My college sweetheart and I had a couple. One burned up from the old setup with a fuel line being passed over the engine in the worst possible spot.

If you have one with that setup, move it so it goes around the outside.

Wouldn't it be amazing if foresight were a common commodity?

In hindsight it seems so easy to envision that a common item, like ordinary guns in their time, would soar in value. What if somebody had said "Hey, lets not junk those P-51s, etc., they'll be worth six figures someday"? Or the bought-new 1966 Toyota Landcruiser I sold a few years later.

It seems so simple...
