TireKicker Time Machine 1966 VW Type II Transporter
Some vehicles just produce an involuntary smile whenever I see them...the VW Type II Transporter (or Bus) is pretty close to the top of that list.
Sure, they were noisy and slow (and one stranded me and a group of other 12 year olds on a 100-degree afternoon for several hours)...but finding one in either unmolested or reasonably restored condition is a real treat.
Truth is, you dont see many of these as anything other than basket cases or hippie van re-creations (and occasionally both)...so something that looks like its still 1966 is a wonderful thing.
The tip-off that its a 66? There are only two clues. Can you spot them? Hit "comments" if you think you know.
