The ultra rare Super deluxe 41 window, six wheel bus. This one appears to have been meticulously restored to its exact factory original condition.

I wonder if there are any buses from this builder here in the states. I'd love to inspect one up close. Not everyones cup of tea, but they look well done. |

Dang! That's impressively well done! 
(I was speaking of the Freankenwagon here, no idea on the limo-bus)

Some think that if your beetle has a padded dash, it's an engine donor. Some think that if it has push button door handles, it's a boat anchor.

I don't think those are turbos. Looks more like one of these bogus fuel mileage/hp boosters.

My guess it that engine was built to look flashy without much regard to function. |
