Old 1958 VW Bus Restored, Part 7, rare original safari window van, video, history, details...

1958 VW split window hippie bus! Photos of this rare safari window van plus video clips of road trippin' in this too totally cool psychedelic artists compilation. In tribute to Jerry Garcia and all the heads who keep the dreams of peace and freedom alive. Music by Ben Jammin'. Peace!

Keep on truckin'!

UPDATE: We restored the bus and drove it over the rocky mountains then all the way to the west coast with a 50 year old 36hp crank start motor! Watch me crank her up and go. Please watch all the great sequels to see the awesome adventures road tripping in a 58 safari bus ressurected from the summer of love. These vids are cracklin' with positive vibes and good energy!

LATEST UPDATE:
In keeping with the spirt of continuous energy flow through non greed based attachment to materialism I restored and then sold the '58 bus for a very fair price to support my family. Copy and paste this address for more info: http://58safaribus.webs.com/
I am now looking for another old vw bus to buy and restore and take on yet another adventure. The older the better.
I paid $1100 for Glinda as-is in the middle of the NM desert so you can see what I am willing to endure to locate my next vw bus restoration project. What majic bus will be next? If you have or know where I can find another really old vw hippie bus anywhere in the US in any condition please let me know.
If I buy your bus it will be restored by me personally and featured in my next video documentary series with the whole family. The buses come and go but these videos which are created to be enjoyed by all will live on for everyone to see forever. Please contact me anytime at: ntt420@yahoo.com

Nothing like a classic VW!I have a 67 Bug and love it.Your van reminds me of when I was little and my friend's father would take us camping in their old VW Bus.Those were the days!

Wow--Germany via Japan! Surprising it wasn't converted to right-hand drive! So now what are you and the kids going to take an adventure in now that the splitty barndoor classic is gone?

Hawkwind's "In Search Of Space"...I was thinking more along the lines of Mighty Baby or Mad River. My bus was six volts, but has a six-volt 8-track tape player in it...imagine that.!

Very retro and cool. It reminds one of simpler times. Loved the video and the music; it really fit the mood of the road trip and the images of the VW bus.
