This just dropped on Bring a Trailer...
Automecca Sports Van “Brubaker Box”
One of the strangest things I've seen created from a VW.
Really different.

I have only seen one Brubaker Box in the wild.
Strangely cool but really wild!

Maybe the tread title should be changed to "Unique and rare VW's on Bring a Trailer"

Beautiful then and now. More practical than that electric stainless steel piece of shit we’ve been seeing lately.

So does the fan shroud pull fresh air from somewhere, or is the motor just cooking itself?

I know right? They both dropped in yesterday. A really nice looking 58 bug with 1776 cc engine made it today. I would LOVE to have it.

That front bumper is not my thing, I wonder if you could replace it with a baja bumper ?

Otherwise wow, that thing is cool.

Yeah I thought the bumper was an afterthought. And the surf boards would go. But that body actually has some shape to it.
Crazy.
It's up to $30 K. But I suppose in the world of collector cars that's not a lot. But is for me. LOL

It hit $73K on eBay and didn't meet reserve?

That's insane... He should have sold it.

True, it's not a Hemi 'Cuda convertible.
