I saw this on eBay and thought it looked pretty interesting. I've seen them with the Subaru engine swap but never an Oldsmobile V-8. I have to wonder if it's scary to drive on the freeway.

Considering that these are scary to drive on the highway, even at their normal top speed of 55 mph, I would vote "Yes."

Someone stold my damn idea lol. I actually want to do this with a vw panel van no windows . The plan is for me and dad to bring one up from mexico with no rust. Do some frame work install a 350 olds th350 combo with a narrowed rear end and a 4 link set up . And a straight axle in the front with the van in in a flat red finish with a gloss white top. I don't like the windows

Being a VW guy along with an olds guy, I have to say thats pretty damn cool. Thing about people that buy those busses though, if they spend a lot of cash they want an ORIGINAL bus, they get uber pissed when people modify them to that extent. Probably why the bidding only went to $12,200. a 57 in that shape but all original will go for $50,000+. An original 40's 23 Window "Samba" Bus will go for $100,000+ restored. I've had 8 or 9 Bugs, but I've only had 1 bus. Wish I kept it, I always wanted to throw a 350 in one!
