VintageBus.com Image Gallery - Rare Buses and Parts

Pix of rare cars, parts, and accessories. I tend to be fairly conservative as to what is considered "rare," as the term is very overused.

09/28/05 Rich Way better than the bus they are trying to revive!
12/23/02 Everywhere man Bigger then a bread box, less attractive then a toaster. They shouldnt even think about bringing the mircobus back.. its just a bad idea.. and there options so far for it.. are really poorly planned, even though its still concept.
12/20/02   it looks like a school bus with those huge windows and yellow-orange paint!!
10/25/02 Bethany I LOVE IT!!!
10/13/02 Peter Hey! It looks better than the "microbus" they have out now!
10/10/02 im not proud help me push start it and ill drive it there
10/10/02   i wouldnt drive that to a rock fight
10/10/02   what a shit box, it looks like a seventies bay window and a stepside ran into each other
10/06/02   scrap that whole idea. it really sucks
10/06/02   Vintage buses and vintage Bettles didn't look the same so why do new Buses and New Beetles have to look the same? If you cut those Beetle fenders off this thing it would look pretty cool- better thatn Volkswagen did.

Here's another cooling system for single cabs in dusty climates. Unlike the Aus system of scooping air above the windscreens and ducting it under the load bed to the engine compartment, this sytem features "ear" scoops each side of the cab, with similar ducting under the load bed to the engine. Note how two cab rear panels have been used back-to-back to make a hollow duct for the cooling air. I have only seen this system on two pick-ups, both assembled in South Africa and both 1967 models. I don't know when single cabs were first assembled in SA, but earlier models were imported fully built up.

09/28/02 Tom Mink It's especially interesting because a "normal" '67 singlecab would have had a full-width rear window.

Just arrived at new home Just arrived at new home
Dave Dixon
Towed 35 miles from Big Sur to her new home in Pacific Grove. Has no engine yet. Has not run in over a year. No brakes yet. She is a 57 kombi/panel combination double door. Her original color was the stock blue grey, which is what I aim to return her to. She is lowered a little in the front. steering is not that bad. transmission apparently OK.
