the unimog would be fun! Think of the places you could find in Baja.


This 50's bus might be better suited for cruising down the coast though.

$35,000!!!! That's insane for a near 20 year old vehicle.

Looks nice, but the engine is in the wrong end, and too high.

I prefer the original water cooled, all 90hp, but at least the engine is the right place for maximum performance. The price is more then right, http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified- ... r_26032384 , especially with a subaru conversion already done.

looks like a new bus is cheaper then new tires for a lot of vehicles. When you get a flat just get a new bus.

IMO re-doing a 40 year old truck and adding hibiscus pattern seats is not really a 'concept'. not a new concept anyway - you can certainly give that a go yourself! :D
