I know this is not a vw**  But it is Air Cooled
I just picked up a 1986 Cushman Vanster  P#3 for Cold Weather Driving :icon_cheers: and Flying My R/C Airplanes :icon_cheers:

 The cool thing about the Vanster is It's 12V BO** and has Heat #campfire@ (love and A radio  P#3
It's a little bit shorter and thinner than the Buggy. The only Problem  40mph is it's top Speed
and Turning at that speed might cause a problem. LAUGH@

You buy your own bus, and do what you want to your bus. I'll do what I want to so with mine. Pissing off purists one modification at at time.

Three wheels. Don't forget you need a motorcycle license. It's good to another trike in the club. $61$

Will a subaru fit in it?

Are you guys trying to help off the man or what? It's basically a shopping cart with a cab on it! It doesn't need any more power!!!

Congrats by the way....pretty cool find. I 'member as a kid the Seaside Police cruisin around in Cushmans....

I have a wartburg motor which desperately needs a home in something like this....or a golf cart.

Na, but I'd bet if you lowered it and put some sticky tires on it you could get it to handle much better. A few more beans might make a fun driver out of it. Forget autocross but I'd bet it wouldn't be hard to make it more user friendly on the road. Hey check out you tube and do a search for the guy who stuffed a "Busa" engine in a smart car!
