That looks great! It's kind of funny seeing it in real life though as I Photoshopped a similar version about three years ago.

if you want a 69 Fargo just go and buy one, then post pictures on the Fargo forums. that is just wrong, wrong, wrong, comepletely wrong.

Vanagon is the epitome of VW Bus/Van design. Don't wreck it.

Amazing craftsmanship, but misdirected.

No, this is the real thing. this is a utility vehicle with raw power and speed. It is refinement while remaining true to the original. It is not a George Barris show car.

That thing is nuts in really kind-of funky way. I don't know what else to say. Fun to look at if hold your fingers up to the screen in different ways...It's like a rubix-cube van!

Looks like Hummer H2 mirrors.

Very well done, I can only imagine how hard it was to make.

Amazing well done!

Yeah. the sliding still works! That must be weird to see.

In many ways, it's better than the original.

I am too fan of the back angle.

I see he reused many original parts. Like the back window.


One of the best looking Doka.
