they are also called Kombi in other parts of the world.

My favorite are the 23 window ones. "Samba"

Hell no your not the only one. I've been wanting one since I was a little kid. I actually know a guy out here that has one sitting in his backyard along with tons of other cars he has. No need asking about it right now though, I have no money....lol

:boobies: I love 'em man! These are beautiful machines! I will own one one day slammed on porsche rims, which I am stunned to not see a picture of one like that here yet... please hold...

One of the biggest. If they make parts for aircooled beetles, they make parts for these. Don't even worry there!

I have got a '72 super beetle and '72 karmin ghia and have been wanting a bus for a while. VWs are one of the easiest things to ever work on, and the aftermarket is huge. You can literally order a complete vw in parts and put it together lol. Plus takes like twenty minutes to pull the engine, another twenty to tear it down.
