Prices are going through the roof on old VW campers as evidenced by a 1970 Westphalia "hippy van" that recently sold at auction for $175,000. The old vans regularly show up on VW websites and on average now start at around $40K! That's a lot of MINI for a 40 to 50 year old underpowered air cooled engine! If we were to spring for one we'd take this van camper conversion located in Thailand called the "bus bar." The bus has a handy convertible feature which lowers the side panels and lets the entire roof to be opened up via handy hydraulics to essentially convert this classic vehicle into a party center on wheels. The mods include a large capacity ice chest that can house all your ice, grub, booze etc and a commercial grade multi-speed VITEX blending machine that helps you kick start your bartending career in some style. A USB-compatible 600Watt stereo with CD/DVD/MP3 player and a set of 5000 Watt speakers with a mixing board lets you play live music for your customers, making your quaint little pub the hottest set of wheels in town. However, be ready to lay the equivalent of $110,416 USD in Thai Bhat for this baby.
