To go along with the Brubaker Box of that era, this is a Boonie Bug. I would sure like to find one of these already built, but I do have the plans if I ever get up enough gumption.

Now this is one that I would love to own. And at a Buy It Now price of only $6000.00 is a bargain, bound to go up in value. To enter the van is through the side passenger door only. http://c gi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1974-BRUBAKER-BOX-AUTOMECCA-VAN-VW-VOLKSWAGEN-KIT-CAR_W0QQitemZ200162187517QQihZ010QQcategoryZ7251QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
