Hi,

I can't help but feel sorry for that little motor pushing that van along (looks like a job for the dark side ;) ). Judging by the picture, somehow I think the gas tank will have trouble getting a compliance plate. Very cheap though.

Regards, Robin.

The 80mph speedo is a bit optimistic. I think I read somewhere the top speed of a Funwagon is more like 55mph.

This one sure looks like its in good condition though.

I think it is common engineering practice for a gauge to read twice the operating range. 80 mph is probably right on!

I remember a dealer was selling these new in Cocoa, Florida in the 1960s. We walked thru them many times when we were looking for a camper, but alas, too high for our budget at the time :( They sure looked nice when they were new.:)

They still do in a Bohemian kind of way. I'm just not sure where my beads and tie dyed shirts were stored.

Might hit 80 if it was dropped out of the back of a C130.
Same seller has a nice cabin cruiser & a nice morris minor woodie.
Thinning the herd ?

How tippy are those anyway? Wouldn't be ideal for an autocross would it.
