the 1965 VW bus that became a 1700hp top fueler, "Mental Breakdown"

I posted a photo of this once before, last Sept, http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/11/there-is-integral-coolness-in-vws-but.html and it turns out that photo was of the debut at the Essen Motor Show in Germany.

Read about it and see a couple more photos here: http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2010/11/mental-breakdown-1700hp-volkswagen-bus.html

ever seen VW dump trucks?

I'm thinking that the obvious problem is too much weight over the rear

axle, and if they had too heavy a load getting dumped, it might tip this over backwards.

One wheel trailer... the "Trailcar" by Allstate (division of Sears)

The above photo is thanks to Nik (who finds cool photos all the time) check out his blog at http://carrosantigos.wordpress.com/

I never know where or when I will find something unusual or interesting, something I've never seen before... like a one wheel trailer. They are in demand by VW people I was told by this new owner, he'd just got if off ebay

That the wood and plate are in such amazing great original condition is astonishing, the major frame piece has been repainted, but the wood wasn't touched

The reason this doesn't fall over (like a person on a unicycle) is the from cross member that is bracing the side to side load ( it's the black part at the bottom of the photo below

The advert is from a JC Whitney like catalog that Randy let me scan, Warshawsky's http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/Warshawsky

the Humboldt Wholesale bus... with the funky cool paint, and the VW kombi grafted to the roof

Cool paint style, and I love that the colors and designs start on the VW and flow down onto the bus.
