It has snorkel and winch so it has a lot of potential offorad fun in it.

Oh yeah.. Thats all you need for offroad fun!

That turkey has been for sale for YEARS on The Samba. The photos were probably taken in the 80's.

That dash would be too confusing for me!

Every time I see this truck I puke a little in my mouth.
I am an avid collector of vintage vw's but no thanks on this one. I would rather own the East German wood bus over this monster.

You took the puke right out of my mouth!

Rare Tractur X-.15

It was sent to the Ministry of Defence to see if it was something for the Transylvanian army.

One example was destroyed in an attempt to start it, and this one ended up at a collector.

We got it about a year ago. It looks now as it did off the assembly line.

Its an awesome vehicle, turns heads everywhere you go and if you are a collector of vws, this one cant be missed in your collection.

Man, you guys have no imagination. No uglier than some of the Sauers, Santanas or some eastern block vehicles. VW based, so possibly upgradeable to a Synco front drive, how many noticed the portals? And Spartan. Cab looks a bit like the Duros
But then again, the Flying Dump Truck was only something a mother like me could love (when I got it).

Interesting, boxy little VW-like for $15K. Can't be all that difficult to get parts for.

Its not the design.. hell, I own a tiny Austrian truck that looks like a jon boat and a dumpster had a baby.. its that it looks its a fiberglass box that has been angle-ironed to a VW bus floor. The dashboard looks like it was made in 8th grade shop class.

Its like an even more crap Brubaker VW Van Kit Car.
