the 1965 VW bus that became a 1700hp top fueler, "Mental Breakdown"

I posted a photo of this once before, last Sept, http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/11/there-is-integral-coolness-in-vws-but.html and it turns out that photo was of the debut at the Essen Motor Show in Germany.

Read about it and see a couple more photos here: http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2010/11/mental-breakdown-1700hp-volkswagen-bus.html

ever seen VW dump trucks?

I'm thinking that the obvious problem is too much weight over the rear

axle, and if they had too heavy a load getting dumped, it might tip this over backwards.

race car haulers and transporters

there is integral coolness in VW's... but it takes some work to make it show

Dogs love rides, some get lucky and get rides in cool old vehicles

Looks like 1946 tags on the plate

I'm still looking for a gallery of photos of this Bonneville record setting kombi VW microbus

Temecula Rod Run, interesting and beautiful stuff I found

Held in "Old Town" Temecula, and the streets are blocked off for the day. If your city, like San Diego, was founded a long time ago it might have a similar tourist area of historic preservation that surrounds the old pioneers businesses... Temecula does too, and it makes for nice backgrounds for photographing the old cars

That woody really caught a lot of attention

I love before and afters... hard to look at the above "as found" and think it's a candidate for a full restoration
