I thought that fad had long since died out. It was OK for "common" vehicles, but for ones like this it's just a waste of good metal. Someone please buy it and restore it! Rolling Eyes

Np. I recently learned that the "cool" thing to do with a slammed vehicle is to drop it onto it's frame as one comes to a stop. Crazy...

I'd like to see the white one do it.

I think it's 100% badass.

the one similar to this for sale on the samba is using suspension from a Bay.

it may not be really useful but I don't care. looks super cool.

the worst part of these super low setups is the steering wheel ends up between your knees which is a bit awkward.

I LOVE IT! But I love lifted Vanagons also, and they're easier to drive.

The pictured vehicle appears like it would have an air ride system installed.
Flip the switch and she pumps right up to a driveable height.

street legal? the height of the headlights and taillights must be pretty low

It would sure be easy to load a motorcycle in the back with that deck height. I am usually a lifted kinda guy, but for some odd reason I like lowered vanagons/bus'...
In the end to each their own.

It's used to take up space at car shows

I'd like to see how the bags are installed and controlled
