This appeared to be one of the later microbuses with a type 4 motor. I never really saw hippies in one of those.

...And we went for broke with a thousand screamin trucks
and eleven long haired friends of Jesus in a chartreuse microbus...

That’s a 1967 21 Window VW Sunroof Samba with Safari Windows upfront. Hippies couldn’t afford one of these rare beauties.

If it came with a Westfalia camper package, I would be sold...

The mini-gun is a product of DILLON AEROSPACE, Scottsdale, AZ, fitted into the doors and cabins of many a helicopter, as ‘the good Afghans’ might tell you. Lovely, is it not?

Another cool thing in the van was the dash mounted Hula Dancing girl... she was holding an AR15. I got to find one of those.

Somewhere in this world, an hippie is crying because of that picture.

This pleases me.

Look closer; It’s a 23-window. You can see the back corner window on the far side through the vehicle.

That’s a beautiful vehicle.

Oh THAT is awesome. I once had a 69 bus, and it was a remarkably practical vehicle.

It would be ironic if that bus were emblazoned with painted flowers, hippie peace signs and “coexist” and Obama Biden bumper stickers

This is not a new idea. Back in the last days of Rhodesia there was made a car with two sub-machine guns on the top facing right and left.

If attacked by Mugabe’s murderers the driver could spray the area with gunfire.
