Do you have a big group of friends or a big family? Are you planning a cool summer escape at the beach? But where to squeeze everyone? Well, you don’t have to worry about this anymore, and forget about the squeezing! Just take a look at this one of a kind 1965 Volkswagen stretch microbus with no less than 33 windows. Now that’s arriving in style! Oh, and did I mentioned it has a rag-top sunroof?
[adsense300gray]Built by a Volkswagen restoration shop in Southern California, it was designed to be used as a limousine and can hold up to 12 passengers. It took two years to complete this masterpiece on wheels, and was finished less than three months ago. It has about 16,000 miles ( approximately 2575 km) on the odometer.
The bus is powered by a custom VW 2074cc engine, with dual port, and single carburetor. This “monster”works very effectively, even when the vehicle is fully loaded.
The engine lid hinges, the wiring harness, the brake system, the mirrors, and everything-else you can think of are brand new! The transmission, the engine, and the gear reduction boxes were completely disassembled and rebuilt using only new parts.
