Description:

"For sale is the world’s only 1965 Volkswagen stretch microbus . . . with 33-windows and a ragtop sunroof. This bus was built by a VW-only restoration shop in Southern California for use as a limousine on the island of Maui, Hawaii. It can hold up to 12 passengers. This one-of-a-kind masterpiece took two years to complete, and was finished less than three months ago. It has approximately 1600 miles on the odometer. It runs and drives perfectly…tracks down the road straight as an arrow. And, best of all, this listing includes ownership of the fully-licensed limousine company that owns the bus, including State of Hawaii Public Utilities Commission licensing, company website, company logo, company telephone numbers, and embroidered Tommy Bahama drivers uniforms. The company (Endless Summer Limousine) is a turn-key operation that is garnering a ton of interest in its first two months of operation, and already has bookings well into 2015. In case you did not know, Maui

Built in Brazil using Volkswagen mechanicals, the X-15 and related G-15 use a Plasteel (steel reinforced fiberglass) chassis. They are 2 wheel drive, were offered in many variants and seem indestructible!

Built on principles tried in the 1970's, the Steinwinter is as odd looking today as it must have been then. The idea was to decrease the size and aerodynamic drag of the typical truck. This skatelike vehicle proved unpopular with drivers and suffered from handling problems, testing was stopped after 3000km.

Introduced at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show as the Supercargo 2040, it uses a Mercedes chassis, a 400hp Daimler-Benz engine, independent air suspension, limited slip diferential, anti-lock brakes, and climate control.

The story goes that it was turned into a TV car for the 1988 series "The Highwaymen". However it seems considerably smaller than the TV car. Another rumor says that it survives intact somewhere.
